Master Any Distribution of Linux By Following
These Broadcast Quality
Hello Linux! Video Tutorials
(a.k.a. I Learn Linux Video Tutorials)
Step-by-Step

  Self-paced learning of Red Hat Linux, Fedora Linux, SUSE Linux, Debian Linux and ANY other distribution of Linux - from the basics through advanced commands. Watch and listen, practice, then go on to the next lesson. It's that easy!  
  Get 12+ hours of carefully structured, clearly narrated, fully explained video instruction for only $59.95 (on CD) - or $49.95 (for Online Viewing).  
  Hello Linux! Video Tutorials present self-paced learning at it's best! By watching over 12 hours of narrated tutorials you will learn fundamental Linux concepts presented in a clearly narrated, step-by-step manner.  
  These video tutorials cover the essential Linux concepts and commands for ALL Linux versions, including Red Hat Linux, Fedora Linux, SUSE Linux, Debian Linux, Ubuntu Linux, Puppy Linux, Mandrake Linux - and ANY other version of Linux.  
 
Hello Linux! Video Tutorials cover all Linux distributions
The Hello Linux! Video Tutorials also describe the similarities and differences between Linux distributions. By learning these similarities and differences, you'll learn the concepts and commands that are common to all Linux versions.
Many Linux certification training programs don't cover the Linux basics. They expect you to already know the basics. They start at an intermediate level and go up from there.
 
 
  The Hello Linux! Video Tutorials use plain english to describe Linux concepts and commands so that you can easily understand them.  They start at the most basic level and gradually build on that foundation to provide the essentials required for Linux certification.  
  The Hello Linux! Video Tutorials deliver - from the ground up!

  Most Linux training programs focus on just a single distribution. But when you start working with Linux, you'll find that you need to know how to work with several distributions.  
  By learning about several popular distributions, you'll learn the Linux concepts and commands used in EVERY SINGLE LINUX VERSION.  
  Why should you learn just one Linux version (distribution) when you can learn them all? ! ! !  
  The Hello Linux! Video Tutorials are just like having your own online instructor. And you can watch them over and over again!  
  "Clyde - Thanks for all your insight in helping me with Linux. Your Hello Linux! Video Tutorials certainly went above and beyond the call when I desperately needed it! I commend you on your dedication to your students, of which I am one!  
  I am going through company paid intensive training later this year and the Hello Linux! Video Tutorials are giving me a "head start" while I wait for the classes to begin. When I become certified as an instructor later this year, you can be sure I will be using your Hello Linux! Book and Hello Linux! Video Tutorials in my classes!  
  Thanks again and I look forward to completing the course and my future in Linux! I am a very satisfied customer."

  1.  Here's What You Get When You Order the Hello Linux!
          (a.k.a. I Learn Linux) Video Tutorials
  2.  Here's How to Use the Hello Linux! Video Tutorials
  3. Here's How to Run Linux from within Windows
 
Learning Linux is as easy as 1, 2, 3 ! ! !
1.  Here's What You Get When You Order the Hello
         Linux! (a.k.a. I Learn Linux) Video Tutorials:


   
  The Hello Linux! Video Tutorials give you over 12+ HOURS of narrated and demonstrated videos of Linux concepts and commands for just $49.95 (for Online Viewing) - or - $59.95 (on CD).  
   
  There are three levels of the Hello Linux! Video Tutorials that cover all Linux versions, including Red Hat Linux, Fedora Linux, SUSE Linux, Debian Linux, Ubuntu Linux, Mandrake Linux, and any other version of Linux.  
   
  Levels 1, 2 and 3 are over 4 hours EACH, for over 12 hours of viewing!  
   
  You get immediate access to Online Viewing.
   
  As soon as you order the Hello Linux! Video Tutorials you can start watching them - online - right away!  
   
 
   
2. Here's How to Use the Hello Linux! Video Tutorials:

When you order the Hello Linux! Video Tutorials, you are automatically emailed a Username and Password.
Just log in with your Username and Password and select the video tutorial you want to see. (Just like you do with the free sample video tutorials listed further below).
Then you watch a bit of a video tutorial and pause it.
Run Linux and try the command that you've just seen.
Then play a bit more of the tutorial and pause it again, and then try the command in Linux again. It's that easy!
If you don't already have Linux running on a system, and you DO have a Windows system - no problem!
3. Here's How to Run Linux from within Windows:

You can instantly download a free "player" program for Linux and a free "player version of Linux" and then run Linux - from within Windows!
This is a major breakthrough for Linux - HUGE - there is a free Linux player - which is a free player version of Linux - that runs in Windows.
This is not just a simulation of Linux - it is a fully functional version of Linux.
The free Linux player program is used to open and run a free player version of Linux in Windows.
The Linux player program easily installs in Windows (in just a few minutes - just like installing any Windows program - very easy).
The Linux player program is run in Windows by double-clicking on its icon (just like running any other Windows program).
You run the Linux player program and then open and run the player version of Linux in Windows - just like running a word processor and opening a letter!
This saves you all the complexities, hassles and dangers of installing Linux on a Windows system.
Installing Linux on a Windows system is o.k. - if you know what you're doing! If not, you can damage or destroy your Windows system and possibly loose everything - imagine - all your letters, emails and documents - and all other data files - and programs - gone!
Installing the Linux player program (only) in Windows, and just copying (not installing) the player version of Linux into a folder on a Windows system, saves you all the dangers and hassles of installing Linux on a Windows system.
Here's how to do it: There are two Hello Linux! / I Learn Linux Video Tutorials that show you how to run Linux from within Windows. They show you every step you need to easily get Linux running from within Windows.
1. The video tutorial named "Downloading and Installing the Linux Player and a Player Version of Linux into Windows" shows you:
     •  Where to go to get the free Linux player program
     •  How to download the Linux player program in Windows
     •  How to install the Linux player program in Windows
     •  Where to get a free player version of Linux
         - And there are lots of different Linux versions to choose from!
     •  How to download the player version of Linux in Windows
     •  How to copy the player version of Linux into a folder in Windows
2. The video tutorial named "Running Linux from within Windows" shows you:
     •  How to run the Linux player program in Windows
     •  How to open and run the player version of Linux
     •  How to easily run Linux in Windows!
     •  How to work at a Linux desktop using menus and icons
     •  How to open a terminal emulation window
     •  How to get to the command line to run Linux commands
And these are just two of the OVER 100 Linux concepts and commands for doing Linux system administration that are covered in the Hello Linux! / I Learn Linux Video Tutorials!
"Linux concepts that used to be complex and difficult for me became very clear and so easy to comprehend after watching the Hello Linux! Video Tutorials.
Clyde's enthusiasm really comes through, and now I feel that I have a certain mastery of Linux that I had never experienced before."
- Mark Keeler

  "My students are living in a Microsoft world and Linux is a totally new experience for them. I know the Hello Linux! Video Tutorials have helped them tremendously.  
  Each night they watch tutorials at home for class the next day. This makes my presentation easier and saves me a lot of time. In class, I monitor their hands-on exercises while they work through the Hello Linux - A Compre- hensive Hands-On Course book, so I'm sure they are learning as expected.  
  Clyde has done a great job of creating these video tutorials and the way he explains everything makes it very easy for my students to learn.  
  They like the way they can see the installations of several Linux versions, different desktops, and lots of commands. The comparisons of the different Linux versions is also very helpful because who knows what version of Linux they'll be using when they've finished their training with us.  
  All my students are working towards Linux+ and LPI certifications and I'm sure these tutorials help them to gain entry into the IT Industry."
