Hi, Dr. Don: You sure can. Speakup runs just fine with Redhat or Debian or Slackware--and probably all the linux distributions. I, and others here on the list will help you get going, I'm sure. First question: Do you have a nice broadband connection to the net? You can download iso images with speakup already inside, but it's a mega download job -- about 5 CD ROMs worth of download. Can you handle that? On Fri, 31 Aug 2001, djc wrote: > Hello. I'm interested in getting a linux distro going here.
