what is the easiest linux release to install?

[lorenzo at princenet.sytes.net]

Probably the easiest distro to install without sighted help is 
Slackware, as it has speakup built in.  It is, however, a little short 
in the hardware detection area.  You could also try Redhat with a 
kickstart file.  You can create this file and then use it to install 
Redhat automatically.  You will, however, have to be very selective as 
far as which packages are installed, as Redhat is larger than 1.5Gb.  
Also, if you have t2 computers, you can install Redhat via telnet.  You 
could also install Redhat 8.0 with Speakup, as it is built into the 
kernel.

HTH.
