hi Christian, I used debian linux too. I also started to use it recently. I think im pritty impressed with its package management system although I also liked slackware. I think best bet for an all rounder general perpus system is debian linux. by the way, what speach synthesizer are you using with nopernicus? is it a software or hard ware sinth?
