Hello all

I'm wondering what distribution of linux to get. Redhat, slackware,
debian, etc. Does anyone know the advantages and disadvantages of each
distribution? I'm thinking of installing slackware because I can get it in
one single zip file.

Also, can anyone list any good screen readers for linux? I mean at the
command prompt level not emacspeak or anything like that. I've heard of
screader and I wonder if its a good one. I've heard some good things about
screader.
