The answer depends on what you are allowed to do. If you are allowed to patch speakup into the kernel then you can use speakup on any distribution provided you have a supported synthesizer. Patching the kernel is easy now-a-days. All you do is make sure you have cvs installed on the box and download the checkout script from speakup ftp site. Run that from the src tree /usr/src/linux. This will patch speakup into the kernel and then you have to compile the kernel. Good luck. Maurice A.
