-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Having just installed Ubuntu on my laptop and found out that it is definitely worth all the hype around it I would like to answer this one. I personally recommend moving to Ubuntu. It just works(TM) and the Debian package management rocks. As for Speakup, it's already in the Ubuntu Edgy kernel. Just put the module for your synthesizer in /etc/modules and you're good to go. It's a little more involved if you want software speech, but not as hard as in other distros such as pure Debian. The biggest problem you may fase in Ubuntu is if you want Speakup to start right when the system starts booting. Then you will need to rebuild the kernel since Speakup is built as modules. Otherwise, if you like the modular approach, it's extremely easy to get up and running, and putting the speakup modules in your initrd may actually solve the problem of the late start without having to rebuild the kernel.
