Set electricsheep as default screensaver

Asked by Andrew Newton

Want to set "electricsheep" as default screensaver, with preferred parameters. Can't find additional packages in package manager, and no help in terminal. Currently activates only thru command-line, and shuts down after approx. 3 min. Any Help??

The command is:

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Not:

lsb_12.04-a;andrew-a

I gave the command to run, why are you changing it....
