Thanks, Tony. I'll check this out, and the Debian one also. With at

which one to choose and use.

Well, there is no right Linux distro. I personally don't like Arch (thus the original thread) but you might prefer it. I didn't even get into Fedora which is also highly recommended. All you can do is try different ones until you find one you like.


Since I'll be in a GUI after boot, how can I increase volume for
speech without being able to run Alsamix?

Yes, you can run alsamixer. Press Alt-F2 and enter your command in the edit box. I would do something like this:

amixer set Master playback 100

If you want alsamixer which uses Curses, check the box to run in terminal. If you already have an asound.state from another Linux install which works for you, you can copy it over the default, but that's slightly more complicated.
