It looks like the answer to that is yes, though I've never tried it. http://www.mingw.org > So could I get linux and just install it and speakup would come with it? > > Or is there nothing like this out there? > Linux is a kernel, and the speakup patch isn't currently included in the mainstream kernel. So, the literal answer to your question would be that no, if you just got linux, and installed it, speakup wouldn't come with it. What I do think you meant though was could you just get and install a distribution of gnu/linux, (gnu/linux refers to a complete system, meaning the gnu tools and the linux kernel), and expect speakup to come with it. As has been mentioned before, you need a distribution of gnu/linux which has been modified with a speakup-patched linux kernel. I gave you links to several of those in my previous response to this thread. If you get your install media from any of those pages, you will have a distribution of gnu/linux which will contain speakup in it as well.
