Hi, Just a couple more questions: How do I setup the soundcard so I here sound through it once I have installed linux? Also will I have to download a linux distribution and install that. Then install speakup? When speakup is working can I get it to talk through my speakers? If so what synth would it use. Like jaws can talk through my speakers can speakup do this or do I need a hardware synth? Thanks. -- Daniel Dalton John Heim wrote: > 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.
