I recently put together a short screencast demonstrating how to install drush on a local development machine (running Ubuntu 11.10) using Git. It shows some of the benefits to installing drush this way (easy updates, version management etc).
Link to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOyAWP8COGE
Is anyone else using Git in this way for drush or drush_make installs?

Follow up screencast installing drush make
Here's the follow up screencast to the previous video. This time we're installing Drush Make using the same technique: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNTsLF6fPVw
(edit: Drush Make now comes as part of Drush so this video might be somewhat out of date)
Thanks for these.
Very helpful.

The video no longer exists.
