+[T] It is present in almost every major Unix flavor in use today, and here 
+[T] you can get your version for Linux. It works on both 2.4 & 2.6. What
+[T] makes it different from other Linux utilities, which mostly show only
+[T] I/O transfer rates, is that you finally can get important information
+[T] about disk utilization, number of requests, average queue size and
+[T] disk & queue wait times. No serious sysadmin should be without it.
