By far the easiest way to get started with linux is with oralux (as
mentioned below). If you're going to be following some tutorial on getting
started using linux, you would then be able to start without doing an
install. Installing linux is not real easy. So if you can avoid that until
you're more comfortable with linux itself, that might be worthwile.
If you do need to do an installation, you should use the speakup modified
version of the installer for your version of linux. There are lots of
different types of linux (called distrabutions or distros). You have to
choose a distro first. I use a distro called debian. But I've heard fedora
is easier for new users.
Once you settle on a distro, go to linux-speakup.org for instructions and
download links.
You'll need a hardware synth. It will be very difficult for someone new to
linux to do an installation via a software synth.

lynix build which has a speaking install?
There's a live-cd version called oralux which can be found at
www.oralux.org where you can download the ISO and burn it to CD.
I don't know whether it has an install-to-hard-disk option, but
it boots right off the CD, supports hardware and software synths
(and likely braille too), and is up to three different available
environments: emacspeak, yasr, and speakup. Last time I stopped
by their website, they had only just added Yasr support to the
long-running emacspeak support, so they've got to be pretty
active. Kudos to them! However, as it's based on Knoppix, which
had a rough hard-drive installer, one might be lucky.
