New and in need of help.

Hi, Anna, and welcome to speakup!

There is a draft document on the speakup website, a HOWTO-Install file 
specific to the Speakup Modified Redhat distribution that can help you 
understand a lot of what you need to know, even if you end up choosing to 
install a linux other than Redhat. Point your favorite browser to:
