goto zmatrix.sourceforge.net

This is the Matrix code effect as an animating backdrop and screensaver. It runs stable and halts itself when something else decides it needs your CPU. Doesnt require any fancy hardware, and has oodles of options. (seperate win98/me and 2k/xp downloads)

Not to be a spammer, but i found this and have gotten 4 of my (real life) friends to get it. Besides, if you dont like it you can uninstall it.

I prefer xmatrix and cmatrix. Xmatrix for X11, and cmatrix for console. As a matter of fact, I made a little command that when you type it starts cmatrix, and as soon as cmatrix is killed logs you out. I use that to logout now, becasue it leaves my consoles running cmatrix in effect. :P

Well, im only just learning the linux system (Debian 3.1r)

Just the other day (before windows started whining and i had to take off linux (system commander time!)) i figured out how to mount my USB Flash drive. WEE FOR ME!

Could you give me links to cmatrix and xmatrix?

Ummm...

Xmatrix is in xscreensaver somewhere

Mine's in /usr/lib/xscreensaver/xmatrix

Nice. Now get one that renders your GUI in matrix code.

Easy.

Install the program "switch2". Then download the matrix font off the internet. Then set the system font to that font. I found the "Matrix" font somewhere once, but I have too much homework to look for it now. Besides, we haven't even made a Waylonics font yet!
