I would say that the real lesson here is that there are still some 'basic' activities which are still surprisingly immature on Linux compared as to what one could expect: in the comments SJVN explain that recordmydesktop (which seems to be the 'preferred solution' apparently) didn't work for him on Fedora or openSuse..

[ For other users, it worked on Fedora so apparently YMMV ]

He starts off by saying there aren't any desktop recorder programs for Linux... and that he has to used hacked up solutions... and then describes how he had problems with them... and how this one worked on that distro but not the other. He completely leaves out the two most common programs made specifically for desktop recording... and says in a comment that those didn't work for him so he didn't mention them. I don't buy it.
