Linux Screencasting
June 22nd, 2008 by Greg R Notess
Probably of interest to only a few readers, but just in case you have some Linux users in your organization or have Linux-using friends (mostly systems managers or other computer-intensive users with some mathematicians and physicists thrown in for good measure), take a look at 5 Ways to Screencast Your Linux Desktop from LinuxHaxor for some possible solutions.
Thanks for this entry, Greg! I saw your presentation on quick screencasts at Reference Renaissance, and felt lucky that this post flashed on the screen when you showed us your website.
As the libraries using desktop Linux become more numerous, consideration given to Linux will become ever more useful.
Hi Greg, good to see you discussing linux screencasting.
My group have started to publish a 9-part series teaching everyone how-to-screencast, it references linux (and web-based) tools rather than the usual focus purely on Winows tools:

I’m also co-founder of ShowMeDo which has a strong open-source and Linux using screencasting community, it would be great if you were interested in what we’ve achieved:
