I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and am looking for an equivalent to Process Explorer on Linux. There is System Monitor but it's not nearly as good as Process Explorer with all of its detailed information about processes.

Any suggestions?

If you don't mind something that's terminal based, then htop is a good and powerful process manager.

You can install it on Ubuntu with the following command:

sudo aptitude install htop

If you prefer something with a GUI, you could try qps.

You can install it with the following:

Qps is much better and is easier to use , I just wish it would show the icon of the Process if available , but still its very good – Gautam K May 19 '11 at 4:51

Use Linux Process Explorer.

Graphical process explorer for Linux. Shows process information: process tree, TCP IP connections and graphical performance figures for processes. Aims to mimic Windows procexp from sysinternals, and aims to be more usable than top and ps.

enter image description here

PS. it is still in alpha development stage.

This looks like a useful tool, but your answer provides very little information about it. Could you edit your answer to include some info about how it works and perhaps a screenshot? – nhinkle♦ Jun 5 '11 at 17:18
