hi hermann,

thank you very much. well, I actually burned the image I got once again and 
it worked on both pcs. I hear orca coming up as soon as it finishes booting. 
I don't hear the linux music though, but no worries as long as orca is 
speaking. I notice that it can be slower due to the fact that it has to load 
things from the cd when you open programs or so. I guess it's natural.

now where to go next? I tried to browse the net but firefox doesn't speak 
the same way it does under windows with its screen readers. is there 
anything I should do to get it to work? by the way, can I configure the pc 
now to use my wireless internet connection? any clues where to go to do 
this?

I would like to know also the best linux distribution that you think I 
should consider to use when I decide to install linux on my pc not just use 
it out of the live cd? by best I mean the easiest on me since I don't have 
much back ground with linux.

and by the way, since orca worked fine out of the live cd, does this mean 
that I will get it to work the same way if I install and that I don't have 
to worry about the drivers?

thanks for your help.

regards,
Mohammed al-shar'
