Thanks Will for the great videos on these essential topics. The only problem I was having was the command line vids on youtube were unreadable, as I could not follow along and read what you were saying. Everything sounds legit, I just couldn't read it as the words were blurry or too small.

I will come up with a few more soon if you don't mind continuing uploading videos. If you need any help uploading and are busy you can send something to my email and I will drop the vids on my hotfile account. This way I can just put the links up here, and people can just d/l the videos and not have to wait for buffer times on youtube. Send me a pm and let me know.

I would really like to see a video about how to decode hardware specs. Like you can take something like this "HITACHI Travelstar H2IK5001672SP (0S02858) 500GB 7200 RPM 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive" and break it down for people who may not know what all the numbers and letters are referring to. I know I have trouble figuring out what means what for some components.

The registry would be nice addition. I see your an ccna person. I might of missed it but I see nothing on Networking or Routers. People are always wanting to hook up more than on machine and that could come in handy.

Trouble, the videos were shot at 720p so make sure you are using the 720p option on the youtube player to make them more legible.

This week we are filming and SHOULD be done with me by Friday.

I will have next week pretty much open to catch up on vids for you guys


If you play them at 720p and still cant read it I saved all of the files that I used to make them and i can re render them and zoom them in if needed.

The vids were great. Easy to understand. The TM won't do me a lot of good since I'm on XP still and they are a little different. Still good to know. I'm glad I watched the memory video. That link you put in at the end will be a good read...
Thanks

How about some videos along the line of Networking Made Simple?
So much network training stuff I see uses phrases and terms that need to be explained themselves...but they don't explain it. Too much presumption that the viewer knows what the heck they're talking about.
Networking simplified in easy to understand language taken step-by-step.

I want to learn something about Linux too, but I haven't a clue where to start. Command Line especially so I can properly utilize it when I need it. I know how to open it and it stops there. Even though FTP is somewhat obsolete I am still having troubles connecting my 2 desktops and my Xbox on the same network for easy transfer. I know virtually nothing about networking home computers, but eager to learn.

The main thing I would like to learn is multimedia and photoshop. I want to learn how to encode movies e.g. creating .avi/mpeg/x264/ from source material to no illegal end. I just want to experiment doing it. I would also like to learn how to create ISO's and what are the best programs/tutorials. I need hands on training and or videos because the written word only conveys to the an adept.
On the photoshop issue, I would like to splint together movies/pictures/and sound to create my own videos for personal and recreational use.

There are other reasons to run linux/unix/amiga/BeOS/Hailku/ReactOS besides the ones you mentioned. As far as geek cred goes... your more likely to get it helping out on software or writing documents than you are running the OS :P If I ever hear the expression "becuase it makes me a cooler geek" I think I will have to retire my commission lol. If you really want "geek cred" though I will show you how to compile your self optimized kernel, strip windows drives and use a wrapper to enable the function of nonfunctioning hardware (might not be able to do this, the old laptop that I had to do this for died a year ago lol) and Ill show you how to compile custom patches in Wine to update bug fixes so you can game in Linux :P

I can do most of those, I am just really wondering why you want to see how to patch wine or install custom kernel drivers :P


Heck one of the first machines I actually used Linux on productively was my Hp DV225NR notebook, with its broadcom 443 wireless chipset. Back then the only way to get it to work was to use ndis wrapper or install a custom module and use fcutter to get the firmware out and then patch it -.-


Before that I had my old Desktop and I was using Suse 9.2 with my radeon 9800pro all in wonder. This was like, ubuntu 6.04 time-line so the ati drivers back then were atrocious. I remember falling asleep at my keyboard and waking up to having 3d acceleration and not remembering how I did it.

I am actually a Software Engineer by schooling and Im about 15 weeks from graduating. There's all sorts of weird things I could explain. :P

I wouldn't mind having more instruction on Linux and Unix and maybe Ubuntu OS. Not sure what form it should take but I have Linux on a Slave dual with XP but have never been able to figure out what it takes to make it internet usable.
