Help, New Gnopernicus User!

["Beth Hatch" <bhatch200 comcast net>]

 

   

    Hello all,

 

After being a Windows user for the last 10 years, I've finally got a Linux system here delivered to me today.  I am a student studying computer networking where we use Linux at school, this is my home system which has a dual boot of Debian Ubantu and Redhat Enterprise Linux which I had custom built for me.

 

    I've spent the last several hours working with Gnopernicus, learning keyboard commands, etc.  I am finding that I can configure voices and preferences just fine, but when I try to read any help for Gnopernicus, or if I attempt to find or use anything like the Gnome panels, or applications of any kind, I have having very little success.  I have tried to research whatever is happening to no avail on several unix and Linux pages that use Gnopernicus, Sun, Debian, Redhat, among others.

 

    I am using Gnopernicus version 09.19 and Festival which was just installed on my system.  Now I hear there is a newer Gnopernicus build, 010.0 I believe......

 

    If someone could point this former Windows user in the right direction, e.g. how do I get the Gnome panels and applications to speak properly, it would be most appreciated.

 

    If this type of newbie message clutters up the list, again, my apologies, please feel free to write to me privately at:

Thanks in advance for your assistance!!!
