KISS indeed. But is it really "digstyle" if the link goes to the acutal subject instead of a maze of AdSense driving blog posts with the exact same summary?

In any case, once you've seen one, you've seen the lot. You get no idea of the what the underbelly of the distro looks like, you pretty much just get to see what colours they like to use for their default X themes.

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.

I have used Camtasia studio before and from what I have read from Istanbul [gnome.org] it only does something like 1% of what Camtasia studio can do [techsmith.com]. Granted, the "basic" functionallity is still the same (capture in video a section of the screen), but then again Istanbul is far, far, FAAAAR away of being a replacement of camtasia.

If you want to record desktop video, use istanbul. That's what it does and from what I can tell it does a fairly good job of it (my CPU is a little underpowered to run it properly)
For editing and cropping the video, use a video editor.
For streaming the resulting video, use a streaming tool.
For recording presentations.. hell, why record them as bulky video clips when OpenOffice can save them directly to a flash file anyhow?!!

Even at low resolution a video that long must take up a lot of HD space..

Actually, I've seen Gentoo installs take as little as 20 minutes on some of my lab machines. Of course, it was a new AMD64 machine from Compaq with 2 gigs of ram, which kinda helped things along.
The most time consuming part of doing a Gentoo install isn't the compile time, but the time spent waiting for the various packages and critical parts (Kernel) to download and unpack.

Also, we also image our machines using the tar command, so that also improves install time (30 - 40 minutes per machine).
But even so, we were clocking roughly 40 minutes to create one machine via full stage 3 install.
