Back when it was still Red Hat Linux (8 or 9, I think) it didn't just flicker, it turned my monitor on and off a half-dozen times before it got to the GDM login, CLICK CLICK CLICK and I thought it was going to damage my monitor. So I blew it away, installed Mandrake, and wasted my life playing Tux Racer.
