I say make one for gentoo. Or LFS.

Anyway, I am not able to download the video yet(campus bandwidth cap). And I use gentoo. I will say good job. But I think more people need a how-to for after they install linux. I would make a video showing how to edit stuff and use linux. That way more people stay with linux than just install it and use windows.

Great! Now make a video on how to install Wine, and install an application there (ie ms office) and how to bypass the message saying that you have to get administrator rights in order to do this, although you ARE already the one and only administrator of the system.

Make another video on how to configure the X system again if you did something that screwed your installation and can't load linux any more. (I changed 1 font and I got some weird messages on boot, then "X failed" and then "System Halted"). Something SO simple as changing a font destroyed completely my linux. It reminds me of Windows 3.1! Even worse than win3.1. The only way to config was by a text-based configurator, and I had to put horizontal and vertical freequencies for the monitor, DAC ???MHz for graphics card. After doing this configuration I had to format because it completely ruined everything. (That was on Suse and Mandrake installations)

tutorial videos are a pretty good ideia and may provide a geat

deal of help for people wanting to try out Linux :)

Just have 2 things to notice:

What codec did you used for the videos?

Don't know if it is just me but it doesn't allow to timeseek (advance and retro on the video).

Last video takes too long doing nothing, a bit of cutting on some parts would not hurt it.

Can you make a video tutorial:

How to mount a new (internal or external) NTFS formated HDD to the system, without modifying the MBR or the data on that disk.

I know that when installing Linux, all HDDs are there and there are icons on the desktop for each disk, and there is automounting function when you click on an icon.

But if I connect my WindowsXP hard drive after the installation of linux (in case you're wondering why I did that, I did it because I didn't want to lose any data from my WinXP drive, or change anything on the MBR of this drive), I can't see the drive anywhere as an icon, and I don't know which /dev/hdXX it is... And I don't want to lose any files from this HDD.

Can you make a video tutorial about it?

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
