Screensavers are really a thing of the past and were used to stop burn-in on older CRT monitors. Older monitors also couldn't be put to sleep, so the only way to do this was to physically turn the monitor off.

Screensavers are still available in Linux distributions. If you are looking for a fun screen saver to install in your own Linux distribution, install the Blue screen of death package.

The BSOD screensaver displays variety of error pages from the following computers and operating systems.

* Windows 3.1

* Windows 2000
