Hi there. I'd like to be able to use this with software speech, preferrably
something better than festival if it is out there for linux. How would I get
JFW to read the installation and actually get a small linux running on
windows? I'd rather use this idea if possible than having to buy a KVM and
audio switcher to control the old machine that I will be putting linux on. I
wouldn't bother if JFW read SSH to a point of being able to edit files over
it easily.

I qwould like to have the operating systems run at the same time.
One doesn't need to use vmware. One could use QEMU or Bochs. Both are
emulators that will allow you to do a simple install within a virtual
machine. There are distributions of Linux that are designed to fit on a
USB key and boot within Windows using QEMU (I think Puppy Linux and
[pardon my language] Damn Small Linux are such a beasts). Lastly, there's
a version of Linux called "Cooperative Linux" that, instead of targeting
the X86 architecture, targets the "Win32" architecture. A crazy twisting
of ideas, but it allows you to run Linux as a native process under
Windows.
You can learn more at
Bochs:

QEMU:

Puppy on QEMU:

DSL on QEMU:

Cooperative Linux ("coLinux"):
http://www.colinux.org/
There are mixed blessings to the process. Bochs is supposedly slower than
QEMU. With Bochs, I know you actually get a real virtual machine. QEMU
might be the same way. The DSL and Puppy ports are nice because they've
already done the hard work for you. However, you can do your own install
in a virtual machine of your favorite flavor of accessible Linux.
Best wishes...
