Josh,'
Let me set something straight here real quick. This is very important.
Never ever just use root. Root is for system admin tasks only. You alwayus
want a username then this way nothing get fowled up. This is something in
Linux that is very important. I apologize if I am blunt but that was the
very first thing I learned when I started with Debian Linux.

Hi,
It says when you reboot a user dialog will appear. What if you don't want
to have a username and password and you just want to run as administrator?
or is that a bad thing? Are there antivirus programs for ubuntu? Are there
speech friendly OCR programs for linux that will work with the epson
perfection 3170 scanners?

If I get Linux I would like to use ubuntu. My questions are:
I just downloaded Ubuntu today so this is all very fresh in my head.
1. will ubuntu linux work with my wireless router and logitech USB
headphones?
Not sure what you mean by "Wireless Router". If you are saying that you
have a wireless router and that your computer has a card or an USB
adaptor which you use to connnect to it, then you'll have to check on
LInux compatibility for it. I don't know, I've not used Wireless at all,
let alone under LInux.
As for your USB headset, if it is a standard USB audio device then it
should work fine. Maybe try googling for logitech usb alsa
2. can I try it bu running it off the cd and not installing it?
Yes. You can then continue on to installation if you want to.
3. if so, how do I start the screen reader and what screen readers and
voices does it come with?
It comes with Orka and Espeak. For more info read

You can of course get the CD from ubuntu.com.
Geoff.
