No, I am not of this type. I am also an active participant in the opensource 
community, and have written my share of tutorials, on various topics.

Some? hahaha .. My videos are still encoded in a way most of the pro guys here 
would shake their heads at. Guess why I would like to have such a tutorial in 
my hands? If someone really would take his time to write a good one, where 
you were able to get really good results instead of where you have to look 
for everything in a ceaseless search you would not have all the newbies 
crying for help here and posting all the same questions on this list again 
and again. Well, you will probably still get some of these people, but you 
could then point them to a good manual instead of telling them to go back to 
windows!

No, I do not use windows.
