Subject: running linux on laptops
I am thinking of purchasing a laptop. This may be a better solution for
example if I am wanting support from my local linux user group as I would
be able to take a Laptop to Vox Bar where my LUG meets and they may be able
to help me get Linux up and running.
However I have a question.
How much system resources does speech use when running Linux with
screenreaders and software speech?
I want to be sure that I get a Laptop that not only will run Linux but
that will support speech through the soundcard.
My sister knows someone through her boyfriend or maybe ex boyfriend as
recently they were having difficulty who she claims can build systems
because he knows about hardware but I am dubious as to whether he would
only know about building systems to Windows specifications only.
I have taken a brief look at the Linux howto through going through the
Ubuntu Installation Guide and have had a brief look at the Linux Laptops
site as well.
I wonder if it maybe better to see if my sister's contact does have the
knowledge to build a laptop to Linux specs or whether I should just try
and find one in a store?
I was thinking of installing Linux on my PC in my flat which is already
connected to my Broadband MODEM which I have backed up but need to be
careful as I am beginner to Linux. Dad said he could give me an old
desktop only there isn't really any room for it in my computer room and as
it wouldn't be connected to my Broadband MODEM, I might have a problem for
example if I were to install Ubuntu, I wouldn't be able to do the command
to get Gnopernicus.
Hope someone can give me advice.
