SolutionBase: Performing common administrative tasks on a Fedora Core 5 workstation
Your screensaver preferences can be blank, or you can let everyone who walks by your desk know what your hobbies are by using pictures
Changing the screen saver
The final component of most people's desktop display diatribe is the selection of a suitably cute screen saver. Change your screen saver by going to System | Preferences | Screensaver.
On the "Screensaver preferences" window, choose your preferences. You can have the screen simply go blank, or display random picture, use the default Fedora theme, Gnome feet, any number of options.
The screen saver can also be configured so that it locks the console, thus requiring the logged-in user to provide a password in order to unlock the workstation. I've disabled this behavior since my Fedora machine sits in my office at home.
