When you install linux, it should detect your sound card and configure the proper sound drivers. There are people on this list who know more about installing fedora than I do. There is something called speakup that allows you to install fedora if you have a hardware speech synthesizer. You can probably just google that.
I still install linux via what is called a "serial console". If you have another machine that already has speech on it, what you can do is connect them via a special cable called a null-modem cable. Then you run a terminal emulator on the
machine that has speech and install linux that way. There is plenty of documentation on the web about how to do that too.

what about sound etc?
Also the local tech where I studdy has this thing about having linux windows and dos on a removable hard disk.
I have a windows machine, and I am trying to get a dos machine.
But this linux on a removable hard disk, I get told that because it requires hardware drivers that it can't go on laptops or can only stay on one machine.
Yet tech must have a way to move it around on a drive since people have to take it home.
Unless we have a version installed there and a version installed here.
But then why the removable hard drive.
Its all confusing.

Something like fedora will install easily on a used computer, you'll be able to take all the defaults and have a working machine in short order. That will settle your boot loader question too because whatever linux distrabution you choose will have a default boot loader.

I got my linux machine for free from someone because they were going to just throw it out and they'd have had to pay the city $20 to dispose of it. I don't know what things are like where you are but my opinion is that you should try to find an inexpensive used machine on which to install linux.
