You can find it at http://www.speakupmodified.org There's good documentation on the site for installing and updating the = software. There are a couple of points during installation when you = might rather be drinking molten lead than bothering with Fedora, but you = can survive the journey and come out of it with a good system. =20 I doubt there's a general rule as to whether Linux or Windows is the = easier operating system to learn. I've taken a long time to learn what = I know, which is little enough, but others seem to have trucked along = with all deliberate speed. I think it's correct to say that there are = agreat many more variants of Linux than of Windows, and, predictably, = some are easier to learn than others. =20 I hope this helps some.
