newbie battle over debian, redhat or slackware

[Ed Barnes]

Hi Rob.
Sorry but I can't help with your Debian or Slackware questions however 
as a relative newbie to Linux myself I have had good success with Red 
Hat.
If you decide to go that route you can find everything you need on the 
speakup ftp site.
Further Bill and Janina do a great job helping Red Hat newbies in my 
experience.
All you need to do a RH install are the two isoes.
