Hi, Ok, thanks for this. I have a hardware synth. The Dectalk Express. Is this supported?

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Doucet" <doucet.kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'Linux for blind general discussion'" <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, September 01, 2006 2:38 PM Subject: RE: speaking lynix install? > Hi, > > This is grate info.
