Hi, Well, actually, either way, this may not be such a big deal, if the Speakup folks are able to provide any updates in the form of Kernels in both the binary and source RPMs. Though I am a sys admin, and can hold my own when it comes to implementing and troubleshooting this stuff, a programmer I am most definitely not! Otherwise, I'd certainly be right in their with those who are doing all the hard work to make all this possible!
