Spilled the Beans
I have a little ubuntu web-server I am setting up near all of my other WAN gear in the home. I want a screen saver of some sort that will show the network traffic of the home or the router it is connected to. Is this possible?
I know this is really gimicky. But with Kids I want to visualize what is going on to some basic degree via the connected monitor, but if they try to use the mouse it will just be a locked login screen. Anything out there that will do something like this?

The only app I know of that could do what you want (with some tweaking and customization) is Conky. I've never really played around with it but a few distros use it quite extensively to display system information, including network activity.
