[Gllug] How to convert a webpage to an image ?

I use Firefox with the Pearl Crescent Page Saver plugin (
http://pearlcrescent.com/products/pagesaver/). It's free beer, and I use it
on OSX, but it also runs on Linux. Apparently it can also be used from the
commandline, though i haven't tried it.

There's a number of other similar tools available. The weakness is that they
seem to depend on starting a browser instance, so may not be viable for
intensive use.

Cheers

Richard
