tip: when making a screencast make sure your email notification is turned off so that your viewers don't keep going off to check their mail ;)

Very professional screencast, it looked great. I think there is often still some value in the less-scripted approach, (along with mistakes), I think it can sometimes make it feel less like you are not being sold to, and show some personality – of course depends on the audience.

Are there any recommendations for a good screencast program on Linux?

I searched for hours on-line and finally found a recent tutorial on how to create linux screencasts. This guy uses something called "recordmydesktop" and "kdenlive" to polish it up.

Very helpful. Looks like it should be the ticket. Perhaps more interesting was the kdenlive project. I wasn't aware of it previously. I'll still most likely use final cut on another laptop for polish, but I'll give it a try and thank you kindly for pointing me in the right direction.
