I find that the choice of screen-savers in Fedora is poor compared to openSUSE. Therefore, I would like to borrow some of my favorite screen-savers from openSUSE for use in Fedora. Is it possible? If yes, need instructions how to do it?

The long answer is "it depends" upon whether or not the screen saver is a stand-alone executable or is integrated directly into the desktop manager (kde, gnome, etc). __________________ Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
