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 heard suse has really good config tools too.

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 ;-).
