I think the server setup is just best because then there is no messing around with GUI.

Ok, the last question, I posted caused a lot of discussion but let me clarify a few things. I am actually not new to Linux but I have been out of touch for some time. I am in a position at my current job where people have heard about Linux for blind people and haven't seen it. Let's face it, blind people who are Linux users are primarily computer geeks including myself. So, I have the dubious task of demonstrating the power of Linux. Does anyone have any recommendations on the following in terms of the best setup for my Linux needs? This is why I was asking, why is it necessary to do a server install with an "everything" installation. 1. I want to set up a Linux box with speakup Gnome, and KDE. 2. I have other projects to manage, so I don't want to spend a significant amount of time screwing with package depencies and what not. 3. I am dealing with the gambit of blind computer users and so, I want a setup that would work for your average user. Note: This computer is for the purposes of demonstration. I look forward to everyone's thoughts on this! Ameenah A. Ghoston Ameenah A.
