Obviously there are situations where a Linux box, whether that be on
bare metal in a virtual machine or via a remote connection, is the best
way to go, but that doesn't mean having a quick and easy way to access a
Linux environment while running Windows doesn't have it's uses. I still
need to
If you have a Linux machine or a Mac, you can certainly use it, but
build the Flite voice tools on the machine you will be using to record.
I can talk you through Linux, but since that's all I use, I won't be
able to help with a Mac or a Windows machine. For recording though, you
will have
Hi,
I heard there were different options to start from a bootable disk with
F12, F8, or something. I never heard Escape being used as a key to
launch the bios menu. that's why it's so hard to find which keys you use
because not all bio's are the same, unlike the Mac, which is universal.
I
Most of us on this list are blind, and most of us have installed Linux,
some more than once, with no help at all. Usually, you need to press
something like the escape key to choose your drive from the boot menu,
which is usually at the bottom. You can get to it by pressing the down
arrow key.
Hi,
You speak of getting Linux like go into a store and buy a computer that
has Linux on it. As we all probably know, you have to download the ISO
image and burn it as a bootable disk or DVD. Not only that, but you will
have to use the bios, and as someone who does not have anyone sighted to
Portable C I believe means that the code can be compiled on various
platforms. The binary produced on a Linux system will not be compatible
with Windows, and the binary .exe file produced on a Windows system will
not run on Linux. Yes, the code can be compiled on many different
operating
Hi Tim,
I am familiar with accessing SSH because I have used Putty, Secure CRT,
before finally settling on Open SSH with Scoop, which means you only
need to launch Windows Power Shell, type ssh user@hostname, and press
enter. This is how I have been managing my web site all this time. And

Tim here. Based on my reading of that, they're just using the Linux
Look at this part and tell me if this is cross platform.

Building and testing are entirely different things. Getting something to
work is a further difference, as passing unit tests doesn't even mean
that the built speech synthesizer will work, especially if it can't
access an audio device. Think of it this way. You have a computer with
no keyboard
Then tell me, how was this person able to build their speech synthesiser
on a Linode VPS?

It's still far better to run on *real* Linux. *Some* development tools
*may* work, but your access to devices will be far more limited even
than running Linux inside of a different Linux from a virtual machine.
Also, since there is no audio input or output, how are you going to make
a speech
Hi,
I am going to clarify based on the experience I just had.
First of all, I don't know a lot of the terminology used in some of
these messages, they're like trying to understand Chinese.
Secondly, you are supposed to enable the Linux subsystem feature with
Windows Power Shell in administration

Sounds like Microsoft is providing more solutions in search of problems.
They like to do that it seems. I like to run Linux on its own without
any "help" from Microsoft. And if anyone does want Windows for any
reason at all, it can certainly run under VirtualBox on Linux, which as
far as I
Hi,
Of course I care. Why wouldn't I? If this will make it a lot easier to
install several distributions at your fingertips, no more having to try
and install VM Workstation, find the right ISO, and set everything up.
I want to try and figure out why Festival and Festvox isn't working the
way
Hi,
I can already use Windows Power Shell with Scoop and Open SSH, thanks to
a line of code someone sent me. I pasted it into Windows Power Shell,
and then I let it install everything. Now, whenever I need to access my
