Hi What distro is a matter for you to choose. Look at the web sites, examine the feature lists, and decide for yourself. IMHO, it would probably be quickest to get speakup's software speech running on Fedora, since you won't have to mess around with kernel compiling, however speakup can be made to work on any distro, as can the software speech.
