Hello and Welcome...
I'm sure you will end up sticking around, I tried many distros, but it was the community/forum that sold me on LL, been here over 18 months now.

torreydale's given you some good starters on the panels/pluggins...

Regarding netspeed.. If it's the gnome one..??, from memory there was some issues with getting it to play nicely with xfce?
But from my ever growing CherryTree notes/repository, I had the following, but have never tried it, sounded a bit scary, just for a plugin...

==========================================================================================

"gnome netspeed" adding to xfce panel indicator,

First you need to install some dependencies and compile it.

Code:

sudo apt-get install intltool xfce4-dev-tools libxfce4util-dev libgtk2.0-dev libxfcegui4-dev libxfce4util-dev xfce4-panel-dev libgtop2-dev libxfce4ui-1

Download latest file from the link below and extract tar zxvf xfce4-netspeed-plugin-0.3.1.tar.gz
https://code.google.com/p/xfce4-netspeed...loads/list
Navigate to the folder:

Code:

cd xfce4-netspeed-plugin-0.3.1

Then run these commands:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install

Right click your on the Xfce panel
Select Panel -> Add New Items .. -> NetSpeed Monitor -> Add
