You can try the free WINE application (Wine Is Not an Emulator) which allows you to install and run Windows applications on linux...I have SnagIt as well, and successfully and easily installed it with wine...you can alwso try Cross-Over Office from Codeweavers, there is a 30-day trial for this software, then it costs 39.95 one-time fee -- however, it is worth it in my opinion if you NEED windows apps

Sure it would be great to port the functionality into a native linux application, however sometimes in an operational environment using an emulator or virtualization.

Enjoy

Hi,

Thank you for the info.

GIMP, which comes with Ubuntu, is a great graphics tool - and it includes screen capture (just go to file - acquire, and select screen or area to capture - works like a charm. It is a great replacement for Snag-IT

I aused Camtesia Studio for building demos. And there are several packages for Ubuntu, such as RecordMyDesktop is a program that captures audio-video data of a linux desktop session, producing an ogg-encapsulated theora-vorbis file. recordMyDesktop tries to be as unobstrusive as possible by proccessing only regions of the screen that have changed

 If you have installed Ubuntu - just go to the Synaptic Package manager to see the list of all the apps available for download.

Also SourceForge is a great site for Linux software downloads.

re screen capture: Ubuntu does that by default.

 press print screen key on keyboard. Save screen as image file,

Yup, Linux, like Windows does allow you to capture screen, but GIMP provides a lot more flexibility - full screen, define region, and save file as specified format. GIMP also enables you to massage captured image - color, trim, etc.

And if you have ever used DedugMode's Wink to create demos in Windows, you can use it on Ubuntu as well.

I used it along with Camtesia - didn't find quite as flexible or powerful as Camtesia Suite, but as free SW, it serviced me well.

Thank you for the info.
