I've never heard of anyone who uses SuSE with speakup. However, I only
work with SuSE and the integrated brailledriver and I'm inwolved very
much in the SuSE-Blinux project, sometimes developing something and most
times supporting and helping people who are using SuSE-Blinux. If there
is anyone who shortly can explain to me what I have todo building a
speakupdisk, I'll try to setup one for SuSE, why should it not work?
Are there webpages with informations about speakup and bootdisks for
different distros? Where can I get the speakupdisks for Redhat or
Debian?

I tryed debian sometimes ago and I wonder why many people say, thats the
best linux distro. Allthogh I had no big problems installing it out of a
running SuSE distro and get most thing work I needed, I had todo most 
configurationwork manualy where SuSE has good configurationtools. So
I decided to go back to SuSE and work with my linuxbox and not wasting
time with configuring the system ;-).
