Not at all, once you get the computer you can either patch the kernel to install speakup or install via-voice and emacspeak. I was lucky when I ordered I had customized the computer a bit and got to know one of the techs there, he did me a favor and installed both via-voice and emacspeak on the system before they shipped it out to me. I know this isn't part of what Pogo Linux usually does, but it was very much appreciated. When I received the computer it talked right out of the box. Since then I've updated several times and had to do the job myself, but no biggie.
