Hi Peter,
I appreciate the welcome. Oddly enough the one question I can think of
first is if drivers for hardware tend to remain even as the hardware ages?
Again for a few reasons, I would prefer to use Debian squeeze. Yes it is
a couple of generations back, but I am told that more current editions
have an accessibility issue, the use of speech from the <spelling>
Kernel.
Granted as expressed, I do not want to use the speech itself from the
machine, but use my own speech sources available to me as I ssh telnet.
Still if I ever want to change this, I should be able to do as much. My
sound card goal while of professional quality does go back a bit. Will I
still find that Debian squeeze supports this card?
thanks so much,
Kare

Welcome, Karen.
This is certainly a good place to ask questions about the Linux command
line. I've gotten some excellent help in the past. I'm not an expert on
the command line - I tend to use it as a series of recipes rather than
with a deep understanding of regular expression and so on. But there are
others on this list with that kind of knowledge. And we might learn
something from your questions and their anwers.
So ask away, and let's see if someone can help.

greetings everyone,
My name is Karen. I have only recently found this LUG, and joined the
talk list.
I am a professional singer/ songwriter and media producer with a unique
Linux goal.
I wish to make use of the varied console or command line based tools in
Linux for my composition work, and if possible for accessing media
materials
too.
I use adaptive technology, which is part of why my desire is to ssh telnet
into my Linux box rather than work with it directly.
I tend to prefer more traditional tools. for example one sound card in
this box will be an m-audio audiofile 2496 production card to which I
will
be attaching my music keyboard.
In any case while I have some of the tools I require, and firm knowledge
that my goals are possible. I have not, at least not until now, found a
Linux
users group in Toronto where I can get the extra wisdom required.
I am very used to Linux and UNIX based shell structures. I am using one
at this moment based in freedsb, to draft my email, and use another based
in Ubuntu for my nonprofit media newsroom's hosting account.
Such is also part of why I want to start with a comparative way to use my
Linux box. I would rather begin with a foundation where I can make use of
and learn more right away, than fail to use the Linux box well at all.
Let me be sure my post is suitable before both asking and answering
questions.
Thanks in advance,
Karen
