Now I regret not getting XWindows set up on my Linux machine. XScreenSaver now has a “Boing” mode!

I couldn’t believe it when, in 2005, installing the very latest version of Debian, I was confronted with the exact same screen telling me to enter vertical blank timeouts or whatever insane stuff it needs to know to get video to work that I was confronted with back in 1995 the last time I installed Linux. Back then I figured the arcane numbers out, I don’t know how. This time I said “Yeah… no”, hit CTRL-C, and have been satisifed with text mode. Until now!
