Very happy with xvidcap as a linux screen capture utility

 xvidcap is in the debian package repository and I really like it.


You need to right-click to get a context menu on the filename to access the Preferences.

I changed the video settings to a dynamic filename that doesn't have 'test-' in it, 75% quality, and mono channel audio.

If you want the settings to persist then don't forget to bring up that context menu and select Save Preferences.

The PushPin icon is a shortcut button to set the size of the capture area.

Linux TFTP

The user's home directory is the root for TFTP file transfers on Debian based distros (at the very least).

put firmware.chk is the same as put /home/brad/firmware.chk

That is so long as your username is brad-- which mine is.
