JULinux is nice because it has everything you need and it fits on a CD most people don't know how to install it properly. Here is a clear video on how to do it. Windows users eat your heart out!
After the installation you may want to update your kernel to the latest one for the best driver support.

I like it!
The idea behind this video is very good.
Best video I have seen so far. +5 :)
100% Linux spirit!
Me gusta mucho! Yo creo que es de los mejores, felicidades.
If you can get a couple of your grandparents in this video and do the funky arm-wave thing, then you've got my 5 stars!!
Very nice!
Wow, this is my favorite so far! I just wish the computer screens weren't quirky in the beginning.
Thanks everyone for the nice comments! :)
Five stars :D
There's one thing I don't like, though, and it is the end where you're going "through windows" for Linux. Was that intentional? >_<
I like the open window metafor at the end.
Much like the fact that to view this video you must 'go through' the proprietary Adobe plugin and a patent encumbered video codec.
The future may be open— but for the Linux Foundaton the present isn't yet, apparently.
Low blows aside… Obviously the audience isn't people who already have access to open and free tools, but it sure would be nice to offer a parallel copy of these files in a format that can be legally played by people using Free Software.
We will be be putting up Ogg versions of the finalsts' videos in the next day or so.

Thanks everyone! Congratulations for the contest!
I hope is not the last one... see you soon!
I already posted here before, but watching the video again a few weeks later, I just have to love it.
I would like to put this video onto my website to show it to all my visitors. I am planning to do so if the licensing terms let me to do so, so I have to ask: what are the licensing terms? I really like OGG streaming web facilities, so I am waiting for the OGG version Brian Proffitt promised...
The Ogg version is up now!

The video is quite good, In a minute you have conveyed a strong message to the viewers. I loved the scene where they give free kisses while the woman standing there with 10$ kisses looks surprised, like that most of the comparison scenes are great. I have a suggestion that you would have been able to produce some more great video if you had been more careful with some scenes. Overall great Video, keep up the good work.
