Excellent work. One thing before the corrections, of which there are
not many: there is a possibility that these videos will get
Slashdotted or otherwise get a lot of attention. You'll want to think
about that in advance with respect to your hosting.

Corrections (as I say, of which there are not many):

(are you covering both Gnome and KDE applications? If not, you might
want to specify which -- whether you want to say "Gnome" and "KDE" is
open to question, but a novice user who's just installed SuSE will
find not much help in a tutorial aimed at the Gnome desktop. If you're
covering both then that's great, although you might want to perhaps
have two different "tutorial streams" or similar and say "stream 1 is
for Fedora and Ubuntu, stream 2 is for SuSE and Linspire" or
something?)

(headings don't get a full stop: that should just be "Beginner"
without the full stop at the end)

(note that you can't do a video tutorial of installation because you
haven't got an OS running to record the video, unless you record
installation in a VMWare virtual machine or similar)

(no full stop, again)

(are office applications not commonly used? "through to office and
other commonly-used applications", perhaps. Microsoft calls them
"productivity applications", although whether you want to go down that
terminology line is up to you)

(no full stop)

All good stuff, this. Marvellous work: now we just have to wait for
the tutorials and the text to go onto a site somewhere :)
