I have a donor computer (Pentium 166), it has a network and sound card. On my other computers I use Windows 98 SE with JAWS (Eloquence) and a sound card. I don't own any hardware synthesizers yet. I am familiar with partitioning and formatting hard drives. I am not afraid of working with the hardware. My research on the internet tells me that I need to purchase a hardware synthesizer for the donor computer before I attempt to install Linux on it. Also I am not currently familiar with compiling kernels. However, I am a computer professional (developer) so I should be able to pick it up. I'll stop my rambling now and hope someone can point me in the right direction. My goal is to create a low cost web server for development and production work. So far I heard that Speak Up may be the way to go. Thanks.
