Okay, so the place i'm buying my computer from will install a GPL version of Red Hat which I like because they will test it with the CD Writer and the video and sound cards, and their version includes a driver for the HP 1200 laser jet which I can have regardless of whether or not I buy the printer from them. So I'm going to have to install Speak Up later on my own. Now, if I just want to install Speak Up without a distribution, do I use the tar.gc file of it and follow the instruction under installation? This was in the index of various readme and key map files on the Speakup web page. And when I talk to the people at Pogo Linux, would I want to make sure that they choose the installation options for their version of Red Hat that the Speakup how to recommends, such as choosing lilo and the custom installation and text of course and so on. I've got it all written down. I'm assuming that this will make less trouble for me later? I will need help installing Speakup if I go this route, correct? And lastly, how do I know which sireal port gets which designation? Thanks much. I'm ordering my computer tomorrow. Very very excited. Anna
