Introduction and some basic questions.

[Willem van der Walt]

Good day,
One distribution which you can try, is Vinux.
It has a talking installer and its accessibility stuff is already 
configured.
It is by no means the only option, but I think it is a good one to start 
with, given your limited Linux experience.
HTH, Willem
