Chris: I welcome you to the Linux user community! The performance of Speakup, and Linux in general, will continue to impress you, I'm sure :-) Here, you have several options for getting help. First: the usenet newsgroup 'comp.os.linux.setup'. Don't forget the mailing list 'blinux-newby at egroups.com', a list devoted to helping new Linux users who are blind. Some of your questions may also be answered on the list 'blinux-list at redhat.com'. Finally, don't forget the many "faq's" (frequently-asked questions) and "how-to" documents available with any of the Linux distributions.
