Abstract:

A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration. This page provides random screencasts which are all somehow related to IT (Information Technology) and/or free software. I found it appropriate to create a dedicated page for all screencasts on this website and rather link from different pages to this page than having screencasts directly incorporated to explicit pages and thus scattered across the whole website.
