I have an older computer that has been sitting around here for a couple of years and decided to put it to some use. It's a P-200, with 48 megs of ram, and currently it has win 98, and a PC double talk synthesizer. I want to teach myself Linux, but I should say, I've got a little experience with it, or better yet, UNIX. Now, what's the best way to go about this, meaning do I want to dump win 98 since I don't need it, and do a clean install of Linux. If so, Which package should I go with Also, will there be any speech as I do the installation? I'm sure there is more questions I should ask, but until I get going, I don't know what further to ask.
