Going Linux · Screencasts
This Going Linux screencasts page provides links to some of the best Linux screencasts on the Internet. Going Linux screencasts are narrated video captures from our own Linux computers, with visual step-by-steps for the topics we discuss. We also provide links to resources on other sites, for some of the best screencasts and video tutorials from other members of the Linux community around the world.

Why are the videos no longer available in mp4, or avi format? Modern browsers are compatible with the HTML5 web standard. The Internet Archive's player uses HTML5 to play the ogv video format, ogg theora, and it will switch to javascript if necessary, so we use their player. If your browser is not sufficiently modern to play the video, just install the cross-platform vlc player, download the ogv video and play it in the player. Use the torrent download (with torrent software of course) if you have bandwidth caps or a slow Internet connection.

#006 - Using Audacity To Edit Multi-Track Audio

download: [ogv] [torrent]

This screencast was originally produced as a tutorial at the request of Knightwise of the knightwise.com podcast. Larry describes how to use some of the advanced features and plug-ins in Audacity to edit multi-track audio recordings. He discusses noise removal, the noise gate, and using audio compressor. You can use all of this in place of "The Levelator" and with much more control over what settings are used to clean up the audio.

#004 - Install Linux from a LiveCD

download: [ogv] [torrent]

*Permanently* eliminate Windows viruses and malware: Use a Linux LiveCD to install the operating system on your computer. Our example is Linux Mint 7, but the same process is used with almost all Linux distributions that have installable LiveCDs. NOTE: Although the Linux operating system is not susceptible to the vast majority of malware (i.e. malware written specifically for Windows) it is not immune from malware or viruses that are written to attack the Linux operating system. Always practice safe computing.
