Excellent post. But I believe the files require SilverLight, which
is a MS lockin and won't run on Linux.
Here is a link to some Feynman videos on Youtube:

The "Character of Physical Law - Richard Feynman", parts 1 to 5 were
removed due to copyright complaint, but they are still available on
RapidShare, along with audio from "Surely You're Joking, Mr
Feynman!"

Now that MS is hosting the Feynman lectures, I'd grab them all
before Bill claims copyright and removes them.
There is a large selection of other Feynman lectures and interviews
on Youtube:

Most are very interesting. For example, see
Feynman 'Fun to Imagine' 6: The Mirror

Feynman 'Fun to Imagine' 7: The Train

Lots to keep you thinking while waiting for your GPSDO to lock:)
Or trying to get Win98 virtualization working on Ubuntu...
