Taking Screenshots In Linux

Hi,
Another short post. This time about taking screenshots in Linux (Tested on Ubuntu Hardy).

There are a few methods for doing this:

1. The [Print Screen] key. This will take a screenshot of the whole screen.


2. To take a screenshot of a single window: Move your mouse cursor over that window, and then [alt]+[Print Screen].

3. gnome-screenshot: A program for taking screenshots in Gnome. Have many options for taking screenshot of a window or of the whole screen, with or without delay, etc.. see: man gnome-screenshot for the full description.

4. From the menu: Applications -> Accessories -> Take Screenshot

5. Using scrot: See My post about scrot for more information.

Hope that helps :)
