Hi, This sounds great. Now, once I get it, I would like to be as quick as I can to avoid frustration. Where do we go to start learning commands and so on, and will we be able to read those files on Windows at the same time? Failing that, how do you recommend getting started when you have to learn both the speech system and the operating system. Thanks.

Yes. A livecd. Just download it from ubuntu.com you can then just install ubuntu off that too as well as just use it off the cd...
