Noone could be bothered answering my post, maybe if I ask the same thing in a different way they will - or maybe they hate newbies

I'd like to get into the whole open-source/Linux thing.  Until now, I've
only been able to use Microsoft products as I am a user of Jaws for
Windows.

I'm about to get a new computer at home and would like to duel-boot it
with Linux. So, I've got a Dectalk Express, so which is the best
distribution of Linux to get?

After I get going, I will want to use Gnome and Gnopericunus, but I'd
also like console access to.

Good work Nick!

Hope my previous email explained well enough that I have not abandoned
Zipspeak users - I'm still willing (and regularly do) answer people's
Zipspeka questions.

After far too long on ice, the zipspeak project has resurfaced.  New
features in zipspeak 9.1 include the Linux kernel 2.4.22, speakup 1.5,
the links web browser, and more.  The l y n x browser has been removed
by Slackware, but don't fret, work on zipspeak 9.11 is now in progress.
Upcoming features will be the inclusion of the l y n x browser and Matt
Campbell's lynx configuration, deb2tgz, a phocility by which deb
packages can be converted to tgz's, and the inclusion of a version of
apt for Slackware.  We will not update the Kernel until Slackware does
so.
    First of all, I'd like to thank a few people.  I'd like to thank
Matthew Campbell for his look at Linux series.  It was this series that
got me started on Linux, and made me hear about the zipspeak Linux
distribution. I'd like to thank Sakhib shake for sending the message to
the speakup list oh so long ago telling how to create a version of
zipspeak.  Without these people, I don't think zipspeak would have a
maintainer now.  I know that it is very easy to create this distro, more
so than it was before, but there are those who would probably want to
just download, configure, and run. Therefore, I decided to do this.
Hopefully, We'll be able to post to the speakup ftp site, and I will do
everything in my power to make sure this distro is maintained again.
    Happy Linux using, and looking forward to zipspeak 9.11, Nick
