That is what I was afraid of. I can probably install Linux just fine with
minimal sighted assistance since I know the prompts for FC3 and for
Slackware 10.1 very well. I will probably go ahead with FC3 since that is
my latest distro to learn adding to Slack and Debian knowledge.
What I wonder then, is if once the laptop is booted and running, if I could
run speakup modules for speak-out after the USB to serial is connected. I
know software speech is nice but I still love my good old trusty hardware
synthesizer.
