you'll need an audio mixer to set the input levels (something like aumix), and you can use gramofile for recording to files. If there are large breaks between the sentences, then you can probably tune gramofile to break up the sentences in one large recorded file into many small files. If gramofile isn't good enough for splitting the files, then the `snd' sound editor will be of help.

There are many other programs that can help you (see http://sound.condorow.net/ for a comprehensive list); the ones I listed are just the ones I'm used to.
