Somewhat. You can have the "lcdblank" daemon running, which acts
as a screen saver ... after a configurable period of keyboard/mouse
inactivity, it blanks the screen. (OTOH, on mine, I haven't figured
out how to unblank it locally ... I've had to telnet in from another
computer and run: lcdblank -o to turn the screen back on

Don't know ... haven't seen any, but I haven't run the old Netscape either.
