[Lias] Screen Shots

Assuming you're wanting to capture from X - try using the "import"
command.

Most distros include ImageMagick (which offers the import command).
It's much more "simple" than using Gimp :)  Just:  import filename.jpg
click a window and wait a sec or two..   More options are available -
see the man page.

Hi all,
I have to get some notes ready for our senior students on logging into
Linux and using the desktop - what I am after is a way to do screen
snapshots either of the the whole screen or a window (In Windows I use
the screen capture in Paint SHop Pro).

Also does anyone have any basic notes yet on using Open Office?
