Cause it wasn't in 7.2 either. But I did try and copy it from a Redhat
machine, and it showed up in the list, I could configure it, but it wouldn't
start. The screen just went blank. (The Matrix in Redhat 7.1 looks really
good too). There was a fellar' that got it to work on his machine, and I
followed his method/howto, but no success for me.

That's one of main things I miss from that other os, the availability of
screensavers. My better half used to kid me and call my computer "your
screen saver machine". I know I have over $200 in windows screensavers
archived. :-( I wish someone would make some cool screensavers for Linux.
I keep hoping that someday they will start to trickle in.... I found 3 or
4 or sourceforge or somewhere, but couldn't get them to work. Oh well, small
price to pay... (Of course I do have several stuffed penguins sitting around
now, and one of those cool penguin computer cases to make up for it. :-) )
