nice videos... kindly make more videos of linux pls

[grumpybritishguy]

Very nice videos, Ill watch most of them for sure. I had one question, sorry if you answered this but I am a complete layman as far as computers go and I am in a intro to comp sci course. Ive installed putty and figured out some of the basics, still a bit confusing, but now I have to change permissions so that teh group and others cannoot execute in the cop2220 sub-direcetory. Saying some about chmod go-x command, and this is just really confusing me. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

I noticed you have the date created and length of class around the wrong way on your website and video notes.

Nice easy tutorials. They will do a lot to demystify using computers.
