Hi Ed, I am a first-time linux user and have a piece of advice: If you haven't used linux befor, download "zipspeak" from ftp://linux-speakup.org/pub/speakup/disks/slackware/zipspeak/zipspeak.zip It's a preconfigured slackware that will run from a fat partition. I'd suggest it for people who are new to linux. It is pretty easy to setup and I know how to set it up. Also it's author is very helpfull. Hope this helps Alex Snow P.S. I am working on a red hat version of zipspeak.
