The Eternity Screensaver project is a new screensaver which displays animations of raytraced scenes. There are a number of plugins available, most of which relate to Ubuntu and its derivatives.
I posted a HOWTO on these forums a few weeks back, but since then a few animations have been added including a brand new Ubuntu Studio screensaver. Here are a few screen shots:

The repository has been moved to Launchpad's new PPA service, so I've updated the instructions to reflect this. There are now versions for both Feisty and 7.10.
Eternity should work with the screensavers in Gnome, KDE and Xscreensaver. It also works if you're running Beryl/Compiz. There are a few known issues with dual monitor setups and certain laptop graphics cards. Any information or bug reports would be helpful.
