Hi, Well here I am again, still with my Linux machine which I installed a few years ago and connect to via SSH, but no working Speakup install!! I want to get a speakup install working, also want to try out the GUI applications if possible. I know some aspects of the command line as I use it to maintain the server I configured here, but hope I can learn a lot more with Speakup. Our local LUG seem to use the Mandrake distribution, which is very graphically oriented. I am either going to go with Debian or Fedora. Any thoughts on which is easiest to install? Thanks, Andrew.
