Hi Kurt, Thanks for the info. I don't have it on yet since I'm still deciding which distribution to get, but its good to know what things to watch out for. I probably wasn't to clear about what I was asking. The Speakup page says 10.0 runs on kernal 2.2.7 and up. Will it work on any lower kernal? I'm having a bit of a difficulty finding the high numbers.
