I'm not excited. Just frustrated with the screensaver always crashing
the desktop.

I'll see what I can do in my spare time and send any info when possible.

Your funny... ha ha...

I found the problem as to WHY the screen saver wasn't working...
One of my memory chips wasn't being acknowledged, so I pulled them
both out and swapped them into opposite slots and now it works.
I was only using 256k mem on my puter.

But before I know for a fact that I was using 512k mem and the
screen saver did not work. But I see that you have fixed it.

Though I have recently switched to Mepis 6.0 because even though
they are only on their very first alpha of adding your distro as
their core foundation, theirs is MUCH more stable and problem free!

They just seem to KNOW what they're doing!

You have good ideas, though THEY make them work in their distro.
Everytime I have tried your distro, II have had way too many
problems with it. I LOVE MEPIS!!

See ya!
