If you miss out on that machine, and need to bid on another one, if I were you, I wouldn't worry too much about it not being compatible with linux. Any PC that is a year old or older is probably going to work. It's mostly very new hardware that isn't supported -- yet. I guess it would be a huge bummer to get a machine and have it turn out to be one of the very few that is not supported. But you're probably more likely to get a defective machine off ebay than you are to get one that has an unsupported sound card. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Dalton" <daniel.dalton47@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 3:11 AM Subject: Re: getting started with linux > Hi, > > Thanks for all the help.
