LinuxMint Simply Beautiful
Session 001: Login, Shutdown and Command Terminal (CLI)Environment:
LinuxMint 11 64bit 2.6.38-8-genericIntroduction
Hi Guys,Session Coverage
Introducing Linux Mint Simply Beautiful!
Well, I have decided to start a new series in Bite-Size Linux, Day-by-Day to capture the beauty of using Linux Mint, its simple and elegant experience.
All these while we are still Celebrating our Chinese Lunar New Year in Singapore.
It has been a rewarding experience learning more about Video Editing in Linux. Jumping from a variety of tools to get things done up: RecordMyDesktop, XVidCap, PiTiVi, Kdenlive, and how Xdamage affect Video Editing.
And most importantly, it's been a joy to be able to present you the finish product.
May your quest in Linux made more enjoyable and interesting!
Yours sincerely,
Blessed Beloved Bob (Guruwannabe)

What kink of a tutorial is this suppose to be.
ReplyDeleteHi Pal,
DeleteIt's nice to hear from you and Yup, you are right. Thanks and that's exactly the same question I was asking myself earlier :).
Short answer: My uncle, aunt and some peers and their friends could access this video from their iPhone or Android devices and know that Linux is that simple and Mint is Simply Beautiful :).
Long answer: Years back, I was teaching people how to use DOS and how to properly handle the mouse. This is, I hope, the first session to bringing Linux to more people. My purpose is to bring out the Simplicity and easy access of LinuxMint. I know, it's kind of pretty different from the last few "more technical" articles I have written.
I like the Simplicity and Elegance of LinuxMint. The out-of-the-box that it simply works and the ease of use.
How the "Menu" Search Box works - type "comm" or "video" and my related programs are shown. It helped me to find programs that I have installed and provide suggestions that I can further investigate.
The Command Terminal CLI is superb. Type in a command that is not installed and it gives us the "sudo apt-get ..." command, even if I type "recordmidesktop". Highlight, mouse-wheel click, press Enter and voila!
The best part: CLI commands are pretty standard thru-out different distro. Screen-shots and Videos are great for learning but could not beat the power of CLI and bash-scripting in trouble-shooting and problem solving.
Before all that, I hope to make it easier for more people to take the first beginning steps and are able to follow those instructions they find from google and at the end of the day, be confident that they understand what they type into the CLI.
Once again, Pal, thanks for pointing this out. My earnest and sincere heart-felt thanks because I am not alone and you have just helped me to put into perspective my vision for this tutorial and the series to come.
I apologise for being too verbose.
Sincerely,
Blessed Beloved Bob (Guruwannabe)
