If you're using GNOME its bery easy. Just add System Monitor applet to your panel, you can monitor cpu, memory, swap, harddisc etc. gdesklets also offer some advance hardware sensor tools. Similar panel applets are available for KDE too.

You can also use the standard command line application called "top". Its fairly advanced. There are graphical equivalents like gtop as well.

Ya, top is a great utility, eventhough seems a little mess for n00bs.
