This is excellent!
But (there is always a "but") a desperately needed Tutorial is from the Windows user perspective.
Windows Users are use to a lot of operations that are convoluted in Linux. For instance,I am about to install Virtual Box Guest Additions. Navigate to the folder and get root. This is foreign to a Windows user,but lets say the Windows user managed it. I know a ".run" file is equivalent to an ".exe" file. I should be able to click on it and have the program run. Nope. But is even more disconcerting is there is not error message saying you don't have permission-which a Windows user expects with most Linux commands(copy/paste,play a video,etc).
Clicking on a ".run" file brings up a text editor
