Hi Rob. Sorry but I can't help with your Debian or Slackware questions however as a relative newbie to Linux myself I have had good success with Red Hat. If you decide to go that route you can find everything you need on the speakup ftp site. Further Bill and Janina do a great job helping Red Hat newbies in my experience. All you need to do a RH install are the two isoes. Ed Barnes On Tue, 30 Apr 2002, Rob DeZonia wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Have a couple questions. First is about Debian.
