Linux Quick Start - How to Use Linux Video Tutorials from CD in Linux to Get Linux Training
Linux video tutorials show you step-by-step how to use Linux. They are an excellent, easy and fast way to get started at learning Linux.
Getting Linux Running - So You Can Learn How to Use Linux!
Get Linux and start the Linux OS (operating system) on your computer system. This will get you to the Linux desktop, where you can: run Linux software programs and open a terminal emulation window.
Linux Tips: To get Linux running, you can: boot with a Linux live cd (very fast and easy), use a free Linux player program to run Linux in Windows (also fast and relatively easy), install Linux on a Windows system (more complicated and time consuming) or install Linux on a new system (a good way to go!).
From the Linux desktop, open a terminal emulation window, so you can go to the Linux command line prompt and run Linux commands.
Linux Tips: To open a terminal emulation window from the Linux desktop, to run Linux commands: click on the "Terminal" icon (that looks like a computer screen) - or right-click on the desktop and select "Linux Terminal" or "Linux Console" (or similar) - or look through the menus and select "Linux Terminal" or "Linux Console" (or similar).
Running Linux Video Tutorials from CD in Linux
Now put in the CD that contains the Linux video tutorials. This causes a CD icon to appear on your Linux desktop. Double-click on the CD icon to "open" it and then double-click on the index.html file that appears. This will run your browser and display the list of Linux video tutorials.
To watch a Linux video, you just click on the name of the video tutorial, such as "How to Run Linux in Windows", or "Running Linux from a Live CD / DVD", or "How to Use Linux Commands" - and the tutorial runs in the browser (in Linux).
So, now you have a Linux video running in your browser and you also have a terminal emulation window open so you can run Linux commands.
Learning Linux with Video Tutorials to Get Real Practical Experience Yourself!
Now here's the best part about using Linux video tutorials to get Linux training.
Not only do you get to watch the Linux videos so you can see and hear how to use Linux, but you also get to "follow along" as the videos are playing, to use a Linux desktop to run Linux software programs and most importantly - you can watch and try Linux commands!
Just start a Linux video, such as "How to Run the Linux find Command" and watch a bit of how to run the command - step-by-step. Then click on the pause button.
Hold down the Alt key (at the left of the spacebar on your keyboard) and press the Tab key to go to the Linux terminal emulation window (where you get to the Linux command line prompt to run Linux commands).
Now try the Linux command you have just seen - and experiment a bit!
Then hold down Alt and press Tab and go to the Linux video window. Now watch a bit more of the Linux video and learn some more options of the command.
Then press Alt+Tab again to go to the Linux command line prompt in the Linux window and try the new Linux command options. And so on.
An easy and excellent way to get real, practical Linux training!
