voiceover and unix/linux

[.dan.]

In the original post I was fishing for some possibility of using the
underlying os more directly then doing a linux dual boot approach.  It's my
understanding that the os is in the unix/linux family, the "bst" term comes
to mind as a unix/linux workalike as the mac os being used.  If it is so
related, can pine and lynx etc. be compiled and used instead of doing a
dual boot linux thing? Further, what speech approach might be possible?  I
ask again about doing dosemu in either case, will dos talk to the mac
hardware?

Thanks
