The only problem I had with RH was the fact that Speakup for some reason ran vety slowly and sent a lot of incorrect parameters to my dectalk. I don't know what I did wrong, or if it's just like that. I would need the entire system, because I use X-windows to run applets and whatnot using the limited vision I have. I would love the apt-get commands in Debian, but I understand the speakup-enabled version is very old, although I saw in another message that I should be able to use apt-get dist-upgrade to fix that problem. Lorenzo I still maintain the point that designing a monolithic kernel in 1991 is a fundamental error. Be thankful you are not my student. You would not get a high grade for such a design :-) -- Andrew Tanenbaum to Linus Torvalds
