getting started with linux

[Daniel Dalton]

Hi,
Will the following machine work with linux?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Dell-gx150-p3-1133-desktop-256-mb-sdram-10-gb-hdd_W0QQitemZ280145248725QQihZ018QQcategoryZ111442QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

If it will will it also work with speakup?
Is the sound card supported?

Also what will I need to do to install linux? If it comes with windows 
can I just put my linux disk in and then boot? Then will it take me 
through the install?

Thanks,
