  Hi, I'm Clyde Boom, and if you’ve been trying to learn Ubuntu Linux on your own, or have been searching for an alternative to high-priced, yet hard to understand training courses, I know how you feel.
  For two years I struggled to learn Linux. I studied more than 100 books on Linux and enlisted the aid of two paid consultants. The free info on the Internet all seemed to be written for people that already knew how to use Linux. Nothing was in a user-friendly training style. Nowhere could I find clear examples and a logical progression from the basics to advanced concepts.
  When I first started to try to learn Linux, I hesitantly invested in a $5,000 live Linux training course, for Linux beginners from a reputable company, only to discover that the training was way above my head.  The instructor talked at the level of people who already understood a lot about Linux.
  Fortunately, once I overcame all these hurdles, I used my more than two decades of computer training experience to create the I Learn Linux Video Tutorials.
  These are easy-to-follow, step-by-step, detailed training videos that enable you to master Linux affordably - and at your own pace.
 
  Why I Learn Ubuntu Linux Videos are the Clear Hands-On Choice  
  Whether you’re hoping to qualify for a promotion, earn a hefty raise, snag a new job or keep your current job because your company is trying to save on software licensing fees, I Learn Ubuntu Linux Videos are the easiest, most affordable way to reach your goal.  
  These Ubuntu Linux Video Tutorials cover:  
Cover all you need to know to get started working with Ubuntu Linux. Downloading, running Linux live, installing Linux and Linux software programs, accessing hardware, using the Internet, printing, logging in, running Linux commands.
  You also learn how to use the Ubuntu Linux desktop, menus, program windows, and how to use the Linux file manager to copy and move files, create folders and lots of other important tasks. That’s why the I Learn Ubuntu Linux videos are the best way to get up and running with Ubuntu Linux - fast and easy!
Start with the Ubuntu basics. Because Linux has evolved in such a helter-skelter fashion, few people have taken the time to figure out which topics you must know first and what should be taught later. On the contrary, most documentation or training available on Linux assumes you already know the basics and frustrates you with advanced explanations of what you need to know to get started.
  I Learn Ubuntu Linux videos feature a carefully planned and tested sequence of topics. They go from the beginning to intermediate and then to advanced, so that you can follow along easily and learn step by step. Session by session, you’ll master concepts and techniques that move you steadily along in the learning process and set the stage for the next lesson.
Set you up to learn Ubuntu efficiently. You'll learn Linux best if you practice as you go along. Yet if your computer or network uses Windows and you don’t have a spare system on which to install Linux, learning Linux becomes complicated. There are several ways you can work with Linux! You can use a live version of Ubuntu Linux on CD, install Linux so you can use it "within Windows" or install it on an existing Windows system.
  I Learn Ubuntu Linux teaches you so that you can easily use Ubuntu Linux from a Linux "live" CD, install it on an existing Windows system or install it on a new Windows system. Whenever you’d like to try something for yourself, all you have to do is pause the video, then try the task you've just seen yourself, and then go back and watch the next section of instruction.
Help you comprehend, practice and master Ubuntu Linux by seeing and hearing clear explanations. Reading isn’t the ideal way to learn Linux because printed explanations don’t easily show some of the fundamentals. For example, it’s much easier to see and hear a clear, practical description of a task, like installing a software program, or connecting to the Internet, than it is to read about it. A video tutorial can show you exactly what it looks like to do a task and then you can try it out for yourself!
  With the I Learn Ubuntu Linux videos, you see everything that you need to do happening step-by-step on the screen in front of you, accompanied by my clear and simple explanations. Generally, I explain why you need to do a task, then show you how to do it, then summarize the steps you''ve just seen, so you can easily remember how to do it. You have the opportunity to watch and then practice more than 100 common every-day Linux tasks.
Are in understandable English rather than highly technical “computer jargon.” Most Linux documentation is created by people who are "talking to" other Linux people and who don't consider whether or not novices can understand what they’re talking about. The I Learn Ubuntu Linux videos take the time to describe each new technical term used, so that one concept builds upon another – in plain English!
  The I Learn Ubuntu Linux videos make it easy for you to learn, by using ordinary conversational English, with clear descriptions of new concepts and plenty of examples - very rarely found in other Linux training materials.
 
User-friendly?  Plain English?
 
 
You be the judge!
 
  The “before” version is the sort of thing you’ll find in many high-priced Linux training manuals. It took ages for me to figure out what the trainer really meant, so that I could explain it clearly for a Linux beginner in the “after” version (you see further below).  
  BEFORE:  
  If user-level access does not apply, and the user's group name is the same as the group with which the file is associated, then then group-level access applies. If group-level access applies, and the group read flag is set, then read access is available, otherwise read access is not available.  
  AFTER:  
  User Permissions - A user can be assigned one or more permissions to directories and files, so that the user can work with those directories and files.  This allows the user to do tasks like change into a directory, view the contents of a directory, and also read files and modify files.  
  Here is an example of assigning a user permission to access a file:  
  A user named cwest needs to be able to read the contents of the file named letter.sxw. To allow this, you assign the cwest user the r (read) permission to the letter.sxw file.  
  Group Permissions - A group can also be assigned one or more permissions to directories and files.  A group is used to assign multiple users the same permissions to directories and files.  To do this, you create a group and assign it permissions to the necessary directories and files.  You then add the users that need these permissions to the group.  When you add users to a group, the users become members of the group.  The members of the group have the permissions that were assigned to the group.  
  Here is an example of assigning a group two permissions to access a directory.  Several users in the Sales Department need to have the r (read) permission so that they can read the contents of files in the directory named sales-reports.  These users also need to have the w (write) permission to this directory so that they can modify the contents of the files in the directory.  
  To set this up, you create a group named sales and assign the group the r (read) and w (write) permissions to the sales-reports directory. Then you add the users in the Sales Department to the group named sales. This allows the users in the sales group to read the contents of files in the sales-letters directory and also allows them to modify the contents of these files.  
Are perfect for visual, auditory and “by doing” learners. Whether you learn best by watching, reading, listening, repeating things aloud, practicing or following along, these training videos fit the way you prefer to be instructed.
  Visually, you’ll watch commands being run on your computer screen. Auditorily, you’ll listen to clear explanations. And practically, you can easily try everything out yourself to drive home your new understanding.
  All of the training in the I Learn Ubuntu Linux videos comes to you in a respectful, occasionally even humorous spirit, which helps you to gradually progress and grow throughout your Linux training experience.

Explain confusing terms and terminlogy used, while describing Linux concepts and also while describing how to do common Linux tasks. One of the hardest things to get the hang of for many people new to Linux is understanding the Linux terms. And so often when using Linux, several terms are used to describe the same thing! These videos take the time to descibe each new term and then use the terms in practical examples so that they're easy to understand.
  I learn Ubuntu Linux videos don’t force you to guess about anything. They tell you gradually and clearly how to do the common Linux tasks you need to do. After watching these video tutorials, you won’t have to blunder your way through Linux or give up in frustration. Everything on the videos has been tested and approved by Linux instructors and consultants for accuracy and for friendliness to beginning users.
Use proven technical training techniques. Shorten your learning curve! Training videos created by amateurs, or by Linux pros without any training experience, confuse you by tossing ideas at you before you’re ready for them. Likewise, hardly any Linux instructional materials provide detailed examples, which are essential for full comprehension of how the operating system works.
  Instead, I learn Ubuntu Linux begins right at the very beginning. Then you can review from the beginning thorugh to the end afterwards. If you’ve been slugging your way through Linux on your own, now you can learn with lots and lots of examples. Enjoy a natural progression from the basics through to the concepts that are flowing from them. Learn from a technical training expert with more than 20 years of successes. Profit from three levels of training, each with 2+ hours of video tutorials for only $34.95 (for Online Viewing) OR $39.95 (for the CD) each - or get all three for just $99.95!
Offer instant 24/7 access for your convenience. When you order the videos for Online Viewing and also when you order on CD, you can log in and begin learning just minutes after your purchase - and proceed at your own pace! Study during work hours or in the wee hours or both, according to whatever fits your needs and your schedule. Now you can forget about fighting traffic jams on the way to a 9 a.m. training session!
Feature professional audio and video quality. Many of the competing video training products on Linux have serious shortcomings in either audio or video quality, or both. How can you learn if you have to strain to hear a static-filled, low-volume sound track or to make out steps shown on a fuzzy or tiny screen shot?
  I learn Ubuntu Linux videos have clear audio and sharp video, comparable in quality to broadcast TV.
Remain available for reference and review. Ever taken a class and then gotten confused about something that was crystal clear when the teacher explained it? We all have. With these videos, any time you need a refresher, you can just watch them over again.
  The I learn Ubuntu Linux video tutorials remain available for you after your purchase. Go back and review a section as many times as you need to, at no extra cost. This convenience alone can save your company hundreds of dollars in technical support.
Prepare you affordably for certification. When you learn step-by-step and also have the chance to review anything that’s unclear to you, and to practice it again yourself, then you’re in much better shape to pass a certification exam on your first try. At $700 and up for those certification exams, with a 30 to 40% failure rate, you want training that truly sets you up to know your way around Linux before taking the exam.
  I learn Ubuntu Linux videos are like having a world-class instructor at your beck and call. At only $34.95 each (for Online Viewing) OR $39.95 each (for the CD) for 2+ hours of Linux 101, 102 and 103, they’re a tremendous training bargain. That’s less than what you could expect to pay for just an hour of one-on-one help - or a few hours in a training room with others. And considering that your value as an employee can increase as much as $5,000 after you pass Linux certification, they’re a sensible investment in your future.
