No, i am not. On my *personal* desktop i would not have any problem with
porn pictures being the default screensaver (unless my mother saw it...)
- as i know how to find the screensaver control dialog. I would just
find it stupid, childish, and generally looking like something two
teenage boys had programmed at night.

We don't want Linux/RH/Fedora/etc to look like something programmed by
two High School students, we want it to look like the rock solid,
professional piece of software it *IS*. Something that just does what it
should do, and nothing else. Something you can thrust.
