Ubuntu or for that matter all linuxes of any kind have a command prompt.

quick additional question. Is there anywhere a review of those two
screen readers? Something that discusses their pros and cons?
I understand ubuntu will no longer be supporting speakup in future
distributions.
Thanks,
Karen

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
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/UbuntuFeisty
You can of course get the CD from ubuntu.com.
Geoff.
