Using VNC is a great way to make movies of a desktop session. It’s possible to record a desktop session from any operating system that runs a VNC server, including Linux, Windows and the BSDs. These could be for demonstration, training purposes or advertising. Once the recording has been made, it can be converted to a standard video file using transcode, ready for distribution.
Installing

Download the vncrec source code from the website.
-
You will need the following packages and their dependencies installed to compile vncrec: build-essential libxmu-headers libxt-dev libxaw-headers libxaw7-dev libxvidcore [continued…]

Linux Professional Institute – Certification
The LPI is an open vendor neutral institute offering exams and certification worldwide. They do not offer training directly, rather a syllabus, and exams via partner organisations.
