[Deaf-lug] vlog

[JGJones]

It's a good idea.

There are some video tutorials on http://screencast.ubuntu.com - however 
I don't know if they have a voiceover or not - I've never seen them - 
having just had a look just now - Installing Xubuntu - that does have a 
voiceover.

I'll request that they consider putting in subtitles, but for now they 
are still watchable in that you can follow what to do but you'll miss 
out on voiceover's explaining stuff.

I could try vlogs - what are you all looking for though? Suggestions for 
a "first" vlog?

Ideally something short and simple such as "How do I install programs in 
Ubuntu"?

There's two way that works - Skype for example can be downloaded from 
Skype directly and installed then, but it would not be included in 
system updates whereas anything you install from Synaptics or Add/Remove 
Programs is included - I would have to explain the differences there and 
demostrate why one is better than other etc.
