automatic screenhots of websites ?

[Matthias Pospiech]

I would like to include to every Link a small picture of the website.
Like for example on http://gnuhaus.com/web.html does,
but mabe with smaller images.

Any idea how that could be done automatically ?
Is there a ready to use php-tool for such thing already ?

It's easy, but resource consuming. You can pass the URL via
commandline to the browser you use and can get the screenshot. If I'm
right there is a special commandline parameter to do that stuff in
Mozilla. If you Google a bit, you may get a solution--how to achieve
(ie, calling Mozilla via PHP) that via PHP.
