I would like to use Linux on a fairly old Pentium Laptop. I am looking for a build of Linux that will work with this, preferably in a dos or fat32 partition. Can anybody recomend one that works well with Emacspeak, or advise me what else I might use to read the screen. Also, can I use a PC sound card to genereate speech under Linux? I realist this is a very basic question, but I'm new to all of this so I don't know what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance.
