My name is Deenadayalan Moodley and I live in South Africa. I am a programmer for the South African government. We, here at work are now introducing Linux. It is my job to setup the Linux server. The problem is I am totally blind and use speech and have no prior experience of Linux. My knowledge extends to MSDOS Windows 9x /nt. Therefore, I would like to ask for help to be able to setup this server and become proficient in Linux. We certainly don't have any one in this department that even saw how Linux operates so that avenue is closed. So, my first question is: 1. Which is the best distribution of Linux to use with speech? 2. Where can it be obtained? 3. How do I use speech to access a Linux box to do the installation and configuration? 4. Where can I find a good tutorial in text form to assist me in my endeavors?
