Download
The screensaver can be installed from our online APT repository or you can download the individual packages.
Packages are available for Ubuntu Hardy 8.04, Gutsy 7.10, Feisty 7.04 and Edgy 6.10.
Using APT
1. Install the key:
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 9B1DB022 gpg --export --armor 9B1DB022 | sudo apt-key add -
2. Add the repository:
Edit your APT sources file:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following lines to the end (change "hardy" to gutsy, feisty or edgy if you're on an old release):

3. Install the packages
To install the screensavers:

The screensavers are called Eternity, Eternal Ubuntu, Eternal Damnation and Eternal Studio.
