Hello,
I plan to install Linux on a 21 GB harddrive.
I have some questions, which I hope someone can answer.
What distribution should I use?
Am I to understand that you have no linux experience at the moment? Since
you don't have a hardware synth, I think you should start with Oralux. If
you can boot from a CD, you will be running linux in literally 2 minutes.
(Probably, if Oralux recognizes your sound card.)
If you had a hardware synth, I'd suggest speakup.
Is it possible to get my Braille Voyager functioning durring the installation?
And/or, is it possible to get speech?
I don't have an external synth, so it must be via the sound card.
I believe you will need either:
1. Another machine that already has speech (this can be a Windows PC) and a
null-modem cable
or
2. A hardware synth.
Witch programs are the best for:
* Mail
* News
* Web browsing
* Listening to diffrent kinds of multimedia.
* IRC
* Speech
* Sound recording/editing
* OCR
* CD-recording
Well, I can answer the last one... To record CDs in linux, you use
cdrecord. That's true even if you can see.
