I still use a dial-up connection but would like to try to run Debian on a
system with a400mhz AMD chip and 128 megs of RAM and an 8 gb hard drive.
On Ebay I see an offering that's only about $6 for a DVD disk with lots
of Debian material. I am wondering if this will be a good route to
getting started with Debian, and if I will need to get Speakup software
separately or it will be included here?
Here's a bit of the Ebay description:

Debian 3.0.r5 Linux DVD & "FREE" 1CD of
Appls/Tutorials Item number: 7159135066 [s.gif]
* The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made
common cause to create a complete operating system. This operating
system is called Debian GNU/Linux, or simply Debian for short. Of
course, the thing that people want is application software:
programs to help them get what they want to do done, from editing
documents to running a business to playing games to writing more
software. Debian comes with over 8000 packages (precompiled
software that is bundled up in a nice format for easy installation
on your machine). It's a bit like a tower. At the base is the
kernel. On top of that are all the basic tools. Next is all the
software that you run on the computer. At the top of the tower is
Debian -- carefully organizing and fitting everything so it all
works together. This version is for all Intel and AMD processors
(x86).
