Somehow I ended up with wcatalan and not wamerican on my system.
I have "bsdmainutils" which suggests and "xscreensaver" which recommends
the virtual package "wordlist", and "wcatalan" was selected to fulfill

Pluses of the right
A CD I got in a magazine has a lot of .dxr files on it.
These are Macromedia Director 8. I can play Shockwave Flash in Mozilla.
Does anybody know how to play them in Linux? (A quick search on google
and l.d.o suggests the answer is "you can't").

I've overclocked my 3.2Ghz to 3.68Ghz with proper but extremely loud CPU

It idles at 36C. Ordinary load generates temps in the low 40s: disk and

A few of the non-opengl xscreensavers are heat-generators as well --
e.g., XFlame. Most are not.
I looked at /etc/cron*, nothing in there is going to generate much heat.
