Incorrect. OpenSuSE 11 also does software speech during install.
Further, if you're running in a VM you can do many other distro
installs via ssh or telnet. I haven't tried CentOS but, as it's
basically a replica of RHEL, I'm guessing it has a text-based telnet
install you can take advantage of.

It would be getting them installed without sighted help that gets to
be the problem. Ubuntu is the only distro I know of that can do
software speech right at install. I would say that CentOS will
probably require sight.

Subject: Re: installing linux
There's also Sun's Virtual Box which is free for personal use
http://www.virtualbox.org/
I haven't played with it since I got VMWare. Nice thing about
virtual machines is the ease of pausing and resuming. So I can be
doing Mac stuff, fire up my VM and do some Windows testing and then
pause/quit. Windows just becomes another app I launch and quit as
needed. I assume Linux instances within a VM would work the same way.

hey;
so i use linux for my work now a lot and want to install a local
copy of centos5 on my computer, to learn more about it and how to
get around. I'm curious can it be installed with bootcamp or some
equalvent application? Please let me know. If i don't have to use
vm ware the better.
thanks
also am willing to take alternatives to vm ware.
thanks a lot
