New Linux User

The Free World: The Linux Learning Station

by Jon on March 24th, 2006

Disclosure: The Linux Learning Station is my personal project.

I’ve just opened up The Linux Learning Station. What is it? Well, it’s like New Linux User but with videos. I figure I can write a thousand lines on how to use iwconfig or how to edit the /etc/fstab file, but a quick two-minute video will get the process and information out just as good (if not better) and also be more useful to the large percentage of non-English speaking Linux users.

I just received my Aiptek DV4500 video camera the other day and after learning the ropes I’ve managed to make the first video on The Linux Learning Station. It’s not as high quality as I had hoped, but it’s legible. Head on over and check out how to use iwconfig, ifconfig, and dhclient to configure and bring up a wifi network card in Kubuntu 5.10.

On the off chance that any of you have any tutorial-type videos that you’d like to contribute to the project under a Creative Commons Share-Alike license please let me know (email at top of middle sidebar) and we’ll get ‘em in there.

Help spread the word - learning Linux just became easier (I hope).
