List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I don't know of a recent comparison of the different distributions of Linux. Nor do I know of one with particular information for blind users. There is a Red Hat Installation HOWTO specific for Red Hat 8.0 on the Speakup web site at: http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/redhat/HOWTO_INSTALL.html If you weren't using this HOWTO during your attempted installation of Red Hat 8, you might want to try again with the help of the HOWTO.
