I have felt it important to hammer this fact home again because this point should not be obfiscated, especially given that people are writing in what is obviously not their native language. 1.) You cannot, cannot, cannot, cannot install Linux using software speech, not Speech Dispatcher's software speech, nor anyone else's software speech. Period. End of story. 2.) Once you have Linux with Speakup installed, you can use hardware or software speech. You can change synths every hour if you want. 3.) There may, or may not be a problem using software speech and other audio applications (like mplayer). This depends on your sound card and other factors like the version of ALSA you're using. Advice is to use ALSA 1.0.9 or greater.
