Hi, And welcome to Linux. Yes, it is very much still free--both as in "free of cost," and as in "freedom to use, study, modify, and give away." Most of us prize the latter meaning more--but that's a subject for another day. There are many ways to get Linux. You have a bewildering number of choices. In the long run at least, that is a good thing, though it may bewilder at this point. For one path to installation assisted only by your speech synthesizer take a look at: http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/fedora/HOWTO_INSTALL.html Good luck.
