Pretty good video.Maybe a RFE to system-config-users to support enabling 
sudo without dropping down to using vi + text configuration files would 
be useful, while we are at it. More of these would be nice targets.  
What I think is worth covering initially is the Anaconda and other 
graphical system configuration tools ( System-config-*, pup etc).
