I use a computer system called Ubuntu that I help run. Its a open source OS system and I use another open source program called "recordmydesktop" that was made for a Ubuntu system. Its a simple screen capture program and there are some out there for Window computers as well.
Looking on Google for a open source Windows screen capture should be simple fast and FREE
Camstudio - http://camstudio.org/
Lots of great and free software can be found on snapfiles.com
Look at the freeware tab.
Sorry, off topic. :) ... but maybe not. I'm sure they have desktop recording software. Most of this software is windows based and not Linux based.
Linux is fun, but who has time to learn new OS's? I have worked on making a DVR from linux software. It's wayyyy more complex then the windows stuff, even though it looks great... but, no time.
Thats a old one..but works great back when I use to use it.Quote:

However, speaking of Ubuntu, I just reinstalled this, this morning, so if something ever happened to Windows, I have a backup, in a way.
I will check into the screen capture programs, thanks for the tip.
One last question, how did you add your voice to it all? I am guessing with a mic or something, but never hurts to ask.
Thanks again!
Anytime an Yes I use a mic on the computer that the screen recorder will pick up.Quote:

On a side note since Ubuntu 9.04 and then more so after the builds of 9.10 an up...ubuntu has become a more user friendly system and you can move over from windows into ubuntu with a small learn curve. Ubuntu is more stable and has little to no virus out there as all virus are made for Window systems not a Linux based system. The GUI is far more powerful and can do some awesome things. 10.10 with Compiz is freaking awesome but we have moved to a new setup in 11.04 that I am not as happy about but they are working on it an it COULD turn into a very hot GUI setup.

what is the purpose of switching between Windows and another OS? I grew up with computers and schools, etc. always taught everything on windows so to me it is like playing baseball for 15yrs then getting handed a hockey stick and told "your on our team" lol, just wanting to know what the advantages of learning a whole new OS would be
Every operating system is different then another. They all have their own advantages and disadvantages really. Just depends on what your looking or wanting to do.
