yum install gkrellm
Works for me  I did say it was in the repos
Edit: If you use:
yum install gkrellm-themes
you'll pull in the main proggie plus a load of cool themes. Also look for other plugins, as mentioned.

If I recall correctly, DSL incorporates conky. Just should get you it.

I remember going nuts in DSL trying to get rid of the conky window but not knowing what it was called I couldnt lose it. I just installed it and yes, it is the same one and it actually is pretty cool. I am just not into monitoring anything but for those who are I would think conky would be a great option, maybe even less obtrusive than gkrellm. Maybe a tad hard to figure out how to configure but "man conky" will give you the basics. Yeah, not too bad. Didnt know about that one.
