BEL Project: It's your Linux

Most of these are How To videos found scattered around on YouTube, you could do a search on YouTube for “Linux How To” or “linuxjournalonline” or similar.  Better yet, you can come to this page where we will try to post the best of the bunch as we find them.  BEL project team members will be creating some How To videos in the future to provide assistance directly relating to some of the articles in our Wiki.  One thing to note about most of these videos is that the presenter often uses the vi text editor  to modify the config files he works on.  You can use other editors like nano or gedit or mousepad, etc just as well.
