Ok, I'll be getting a new(ish) computer at the end of next. I need to order my Linux thing pretty fast. I would prefer to make a single purchase rather than trawl all over the net. I need:- a suitable version of Linux, software speech engine/screen reader (please distinguish if different), user interface (latest Emaxspeak springs to mind) and all necessary instruction to get it to work on the first shot. I can fiddle and learn after that. I do need to get straight on to this thing. Hardware suggestions might help too. I would imagine getting a Creative Labs sound card would be preferable to A-Open's on-board device? If I was going the multiple hd route, to have them installed before I start? The base unit involved is a 2nd hand P3-400Mhz afaik. I think it's only 128Mb so I'll have to try find more of that before I start too... 256 sounds a lot better or am I still thinking in Windows terms? GA! All suggestions and advice welcome. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
