This laptop's linux installation is a pain.  For whatever reason I can't kill the damn screensaver.  Everything I try, it always comes back.  I use this to watch movies so it's a pain constantly having to shake the mouse.   I might download and install another distro and see if that fixes the issue.  Going to be a pain setting up my VPN again though.   I never know what certificate file goes where and end up spending lot of time on google trying to figure it out.
