I thought Speakup was deliberately included because I seem to recall that the documentation reported where the Redhat Speakup Howto was. I deleted my Redhat 8.1 files, but I seem to remember it having a whole accessibility readme which discussed Speakup and Emacspeak. Oh well, Slackware has had Speakup since 8.0, and the last two versions have had Brltty and Emacspeak in the extra directory. For this, I am probably a Slackware user for life, although I've played with both Debian and Redhat.
