I can recall 2 extensive articles from last year which showed 5-7 different
ways of capturing screenshots in Linux. It's amazing how many intuitive routes
exist out of the box. Lack of familiarity with Linux does not justify
criticism. Some people (senior editors even) complain that
CTRL+ALT+DEL 'doesn't work' in Linux when they need to control tasks.
