Thanks for such an intelligent reply. I now have only two more questions, first, which distributions come with speakup already included, and second, what then tends to make a distribution different, applications included, usability with less configuring needed, what? I am making the assumption, and perhaps such is a bad one, that all Linux programs work in Linux distributions, no matter which. I know this is not always true, at least from the speech standpoint given the mention of programs that do not have something other than a gui structure.
