New not installed in Ubuntu
There were only 10 screensavers installed. I selected the others from the package manager, but apple2 wasn't amongst them.

Phosphor did get installed with the others, but it's not as well done as Cathode.

New Didn't say it was.
All I said is there are other implementations of old stuff hanging around.

New I know
All the Linux distributions I'd used in the past had a bunch of xscreensavers installed, I was just surprised that Ubuntu only had the 10.

New They are now using...
gnome-screensaver... because as we all know its better to re-write everything already done to the nth degree to get better performance and functionality... and "sane defaults"

No... its not your fault... just teh awesomest Gnome development team.

I use gnome now, as its the only GTK environment being currently supported by many packages.

Bleah.

New There are x-screensaver packages.
The main one can finally now actually replace the gnome-screensaver package properly, too, by which I mean a menu item, and startup when you login. I think someone fought back at the usurping happening with gnome-screensaver. :-)

New Yah.
Pity hasn't extended all that far yet. I'd like better WindowMaker integration... you can run it, but a lot of the hardware management has migrated into GNOME itself. :-/ So I have to manually run gnome-settings-daemon to get both monitors working correctly.

All that did was remind me of the fruit in the "Sledgehammer" video by Peter Gabriel.
