What xscreensaver is the best?

Personally I have taken a liking to sonar! It shows every PC in the network with ping time.

I personally like "Noof", Fireworkx, and GLText.

I did some screenshots one time of ones I like - there's another fireworks one that I like even better than Fireworkx. Will have to look those up and get them posted.

Noof is my all-time favorite though.

Noof is very colorfull, but a bit "girly". I guess that is ok for a girl though :lol:

Yep, and I love flowers too, so... really like colorful things in general...

A kind of "Flower Power" thing then. I think "Star wars" is fine too

Yep, also a good one, although I still can't find it in Arch.

What package was it a part of in Arch?

Yeah, the Ant xscreensavers in general I think are brilliant. :)
