<h2> Video tutorial series </h2>
<p>
The main tutorial for new users is our 22 minutes <i>getting started</i>
video that guides through the first steps of the most common workflow:
<a href="http://www.repo.hu/cgi-bin/pool.cgi?project=pcb-rnd&cmd=show&node=getting_started2">schematics/netlist driven design.</a>
The video is also available for download and streaming
on <a href="https://archive.org/details/pcb-rnd-getting-started">archive.org</a>
