Samba is not a way to run another operating system, it just allows you to
mount remote file systems on other windows machines, or you can set up
your local machine to appear to have Windows shares on it.  If you want to
run one os inside another, you'll need vmware but that's complicated, and
anyway your Windows screenreader may not work.

The best thing to do is to learn how to use less for reading text docs,
and lynx for reading html docs, and do your reading in Linux, and do
things on another consol as you go.
