[techtalk] Can the boot up screen be replaced?

[moebius at ip-solutions.net]

Hey Davida,
  There is a way to replace the xdm login screen, unfortunately I can't
remeber off the top of my head. If you have "Running Linux" by Matt Welsh
(sp?) I know that it's discussed. If not I can look it up for you when I
get home.
