Hi, I'm also a newbie and I'm still searching for the same information you want. Here is what I have learned. You can try the new live CD for Vinux 2.0 CLI (command line interface). http://vinux.org.uk/downloads/old/2.0/CLI-Edition/ You can start by downloading the help text file. Vinux-2.0-CLI-help.txt If using Windows, use WORD to open this text file. This file will give you the basic SpeakUp commands. Using another text editor may not handle the line break correctly. If you can boot to the live Cd you will be at the command prompt. Then you can use the help and manual commands to start the learning process. Try typing the command for time/date: time<ENTER> time --help<ENTER> man time<ENTER> For more detailed help but harder to read type: man time <ENTER> man topic <ENTER> Type "q" to quit the manual.
