    Because this isn't for Linux users. This is to convince Windows users to use Linux.

    But you already knew that.

    I pretend to know more than I really do by mooching off google and wikipedia.

    No Linux replacement?

    What the hell is wrong with Istanbul Desktop Video Recorder? It's open source, it's in the repositories, and it records directly to ogg-video (with an option of recording raw if you have more free drivespace than CPU power).

    And if you want to do editing afterwards, try kino.

    A flash site to view linux distros in action that cannot be viewed from a linux distro. Quality that. And yes, I know that I can download the ogg theora equivalent and watch that, but I'm lazy, and have grown used to youtube like video on the internets.

    When is hell is flash 8 going to be available for linux? Yoohoo, macromedia, anyone home?
