How do I take a screenshot?
With Windows its a button how do i do it in Linux? The only thing I have found was if there were two machines and then u telnet in to the other. I do not have 2 machines and that sounds a lot harder then I thought it would be.

millions of ways. do it with the gimp, or any other applciation. personally i use xwd. no frills and dead easy to use form command line.
|

A lot of people use ImageMagick. To take a screenshot with it, you just do import -window root image.jpg. You can put "sleep x;" in front of it to give you time to get ready (e.g. hide terminal if you like).
e.g. $ sleep 10; import -window root image.jpg |
When I go browser and enter gg:xmd i get lots of links to but they are to manpages and some that say how to use it but no download sites. I want to try the xmd so i am gonan check that site out.
I have used the sleep 10; import -window root blah.jpg that works great for what i wanted. thanx all |
