I've had similar experience. If all you want to do is make a simple recording, especially if you're only recording a single window or only part of the screen, then various linux tools including recordmydesktop will work fine. If you want to make a more complex 'screencast', recording the whole screen and with audio, editing the recording after the fact, etc. then afaik there isn't a really good tool for *nix. I ended up running linux inside a Windows XP window with VirtualBox, and using the proprietary Windows program Camtasia Studio to record the Virtual Box window. This worked perfectly well for me, and Camtasia is excellent. > However, I'd also really appreciate any recommendation for a good > pure-UNIX way to do screencasts. Me too, but I don't think it exists yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
