Which bootloader is better, grub or lilo?

Technically Grub is better because it understands filesystems and you don't need to install your config every time you need to make a change to your boot menu, etc.

The machine is a dedicated Linux server running Apache and Qmail. There are no other operating systems on it and stability is critical as it's in a corporate environment. All access is done with ssh. Should I look into changing to grub or leave well enough alone?

My philosophy generally is if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But if the fact that it is being phased out bothers you, you might want to look at changing.

Also, do any stock Debian kernels come with Speakup built in? Nothing in the package descriptions say anything about Speakup. Sarge had a 2.4.x Speakup kernel but it never got security updates.

There are Etch Speakup kernels but they aren't in the main Debian repository. http://people.debian.org/~shane/
