Speaking of tutorials and screenshots, does anyone know of a good free screenrecording software for making tutorials? I see there are some free ones here, but in case anyone’s got a specific recommendation…

I’ve only toyed with it and not done anything serious, but CamStudio (free, open source) seems pretty decent.
