Recording the Linux desktop -- the hard way (Computerworld)

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.
