I had no problem with the sound or anything like that. I just hit the lowercase s at the start, pressed return and all went well. However, I did have to install more than I thought as there is no good way to do my kind of web browsing with no desktop environment. I was hoping there was. Both debian and Vinux, I have had experience with and I have found them both rather stable and either should be suitable for your work. I am running Vinux right here, and I would hope that you can find the right one for you. The idea of a talking computer for no more cost than that of the hardware has been adream of many for many years. I am glad that, with linux, either Debian or Vinux, it is possible to have one. Hope to help. Doug Smith
