Linux Contributions from Andrew
Recently, Andrew wrote me an email, which I shall pass on for the benefit of all:
Hi Scott
I started off writing a serious email, but your “why Santa Can’t Exist” converted me to tears of laughter, the story above it soon gave me a reality check, poor girl.I was before I was interrupted with humour reading your blog posts on Linux, and was very impressed with the informative way that you write. We create video based tutorials and over the last 18 months we have been turning more of our resources to covering Linux based subjects. We have also been converting our videos to play in Flash as well as QuickTime, so Linux users don’t have to mess around installing 3rd party apps and invoke all kinds of trickery just to watch a simple training video.
I was wondering if you would consider offering some of our links to your visitors, I have listed the tutorials below that may be of interest:-

I like how the system requirements for the training videos do not actually include Linux:
“Vista, 98, 2000, NT, XP, Mac OS, OSX”
Now that’s classy.

Are these tutorials Windows or MAC specific ???

Seeing as they are videos about learning how to use Linux, the presumption is that the consumer of the video is on something other than that operating system. If they were on Linux, and had the knowledge necessary to view the video on this OS, they would likely not need to view the video.
