Brad,
   I think xscreensaver GLSlideshow would do the trick.
Thanks,
John

What am I doing wrong?  I seem to have no problem networking from 
Windows to Windows or Windows to Linux or Linux to Windows but 
for some reason I can get my Linux to Linux network talking to 
each other.

I need some instructions - simple if possible.  It seems that 
people have gone to great lengths to simply describe or simplify 
the Windows connection (using SAMBA) but when I start looking at 
Linux to Linux connections it's all in tech talk which is over my 
head.

I will do it command line (as long as its permanent) or using 
WebMin or something else if needed.  I need to know how to 
configure things or what ever I need to do.

I want to share drives and printers.

I'm running RH9.0 on one machine and RH FC2 on the other (this 
one is also a notebook with a wireless network adapter).  Like I 
said I can share drives and printers with my windows machines but 
these two don't want to play nice and share.

Thanks,

I'm looking for a screen saver that will display different 
pictures stored in a directory.

Any such Linux creature out there?

Hi Brad

I believe KDE has a picture-shower screensaver (the native KDE does, I'm
not sure about the RedHat supplied version because I don't run KDE).  However,
for Gnome, you can use any program which displays pictures on the root window.

I use xv.  (There are probably better programs, but I'm an old-time
unix dude and I like xv.)  I add a couple of lines to my
~/.xscreensaver file, in the Programs section, like so:

           "XV (cats)"  xv -random -wait 10 -root -rmode 5        \
                             /home/dave/img/cats-good/*            \n\

If you are running in a mode with multiple screensavers selected, you
can have variations on these lines:

           "XV (comix)"  xv -random -wait 10 -root -rmode 5        \
                             /home/dave/img/funny/* /home/dave/img/funny/*/*   \n\

...and they will come up in the appropriate random order.

yes - FC2 ships with exactly that sort of screen saver.
I only know it exists since FC2, by default, is configured to randomly
select one of its installed screen savers and run it whenever the
default timeout period is reached and this is one of the ones that comes
up.

I think FC1 and FC3 have it as well.  Dunno about RH9, ES AS etc..
Just look in the screen savers config tool and you'll probably find it.
