electricsheep - probably the kewlest screensaver around

While admiring the electricsheep screensaver, I suddenly realised, that probably most of you guys don't know about this beauty, as I did until recently. So, I encourage you to check  , download this stuff from link's TUR and feed your eyes :-) Unfortunately, it doesn't work with KDE's screensaver, only xscreensaver.

Cheers,

lucke

ps. Accordingly to Murphy's laws it shall probably appear, that I'm the only one who didn't know about that stuff :-P
ps2. If you have any other screensaver favourites, please share.

I was wondering if you have set up a ElectricSheep server? I am trying at work because of the firewall, but I am not having any luck.
I can't seem to find the flame package, and I was wondering if you have it.

Re: electricsheep - probably the kewlest screensaver around

I downloaded it from link's tur, then I got the sheep pack from a torrent at electricsheep.org. Then I moved all the files from the torrent to my ~/.sheep directory. Now when I run electricsheep, I see the sheep

My problem is that i cannot find it in the xscreensaver utility (xscreensaver-demo). Do I have to do something special to use it with xscreensaver? I'm not seeing it in the list of available screensavers at all

Thanks for any help,
Alex

I haven't had any problems like that. I've found it in the xscreensaver's screensavers list just after install, IIRC.
