getting started with linux

[Daniel Dalton]

Hi Doug:
Thanks for your help.
I haven't got a response and I don't think the add has got that long to 
go. So does anyone know where I could find a cheap machine that could 
run the command line version of linux? And that will work with speakup 
and has a supported sound card?

Also do I need a hardware synth for linux?
And does anyone know if I can use the braille note from humanware as a 
braille display?
Thanks,
