If you're in Linux and you want to reboot, you can just press
control-alt-delete, though it would be a good idea to shut down any
programs you have running first.  If you are using ZipSpeak, then you
will always come up into DOS or Windows when you boot, and you can
start Linux from there.  If you're using a full Linux distribution
like Slackware, Debian, or Red Hat, then you will need to set up a
dual-boot system, where you choose which operating system you want to
run when you boot.  The Slackware, Debian, and Red Hat installers make
it easy to do this, though you won't have speech when you're at the
boot prompt.  If you're running a dual-boot system and you want to
remove the boot loader so you can take off Linux, you can probably do
this by typing:

fdisk /mbr

If that doesn't work, go into fdisk and make your DOS or Windows
partition the active one.  Then you can delete your Linux partitions.
