Well, the documentation has some good pointers, but there is very little 
specific to Linux other than Voice Recognition and Text To Speech. Other 
things like the X10 interfaces just plug it in to the serial port and 
tell the config that it is on /dev/ttyS0 (or wherever you happen to plug 
it in).
For Linux TTS, I use Festival. Others use Festival Lite. IBM's ViaVoice 
is no longer supported and can be a bit of a pain to setup. I use 
Sphinx2 for VR. I have a fair working copy of the software needed for 
it, but I'm still ironing out some kinks. I will make a new release that 
is Beta quality soon. The last was barely an Alpha. ;)

If you get stumped on a part, just ask. I or someone else will answer.

Enjoy!
