Another new-comer.

[Gordon Smith]

Hi.  I'm new to the list, and also to Linux.  I have a couple of 
questions.  Does anybody happen to have a kernel compiled with Speakup, for 
use with SuSE Linux v7.2?  I have this distribution installed on my system, 
because I wanted both Braille and speech output if possible, and my speech 
synthesizer is an Apollo II.  Second question.  Is there a tutorial 
document anywhere for the new-comer to Linux?  I'm finding some of the 
command set daunting, but don't want to be put off - I want to gain a good 
working knowledge.  I am currently downloading the ISO images of Slackware 
8.0, and am hoping to download Debian as well.  But I'm attracted to SuES 
because A - I already own the complete Professional package on CD and DVD, 
and B it has braille support integrated right out of the box, and I feel 
that companies which are prepared to consider the needs of the visually 
impaired user deserve our support.



Kind regards, Gordon Smith.
