thd x screen saver is the best screen saver i have ever seen on ANY
system and having this screen saver alone was worh the price
of the disks. it seems mandrake has now made it very difficult
for newbies to turn on one of the best draws to newbies in
linux. duh. hello mandrake, i hope u'r not becoming stupid for
if u are, there are others out there just waiing to become number one.
isnt it amazing how a little success can screw up a disto somtimes.
