Top

I have on my PC Red Hat 7.1. I?m in process learning Linux now. I have one question. Command top shows the current processes that running and all info about it. However, I don?t understand the meaning of two technical words NI and zombie. Does someone can explain to me what that mean?

Thanks

I dont have the redhat top's man page in front of me, but ZOMBIE is probably a dead or idling process and NI maybe the nice value. But like I said, its tough to know without the manpage
