Hi.
over the past few days, i've been putting different versions of linux on some of my lower spec computers.
At the moment, i am using ubuntu 6.06 with nopernicus for screen reading.

The only thing is, nopernicus is crap, like unless i'm missing something, you can't change the speed, and if you tab through stuff, it reads everything, even if you tab onto something else, and don't even get me started on how it doesn't work with msn!
Anyway, what i wanted to ask is to people that use nopernicus, what am i doing wrong here, and how do you use firefox with it?
I am also interested in which distro of linux people are using, i kno people that use grml, grml.org and debian.
For those of you who don't kno, linux is a totally free operating system, simula in some ways to windows xp, only windows programs won't run on it.
Its basicly a lot faster, will run on older computers, and unlike windows, has everything you need pre installed.

Thanks, BEN.
