Install Conky in Ubuntu

So I failed miserably at following Kantoolin instructions to intall Kali tools in Ubuntu, so I figured to get something done today, to install conky (system monitor), get rid of teh flickering it had, and create a file so that it could be displayed as if its part of your wallpaper.

First I followed the instructions found in Ubuntu's resources:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpConky

Then ran into the fluttering issue, so started to follow instructions on this other site: http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html

And for a little salt and pepper, read over some of Arch Linux's resources as well:  http://conky.sourceforge.net/faq.html
