I have tried to get Ubuntu working, as I downloaded the latest version for a duel-core processor, which I have on my laptop. It does come up with the Ubuntu music, so I know the sound works. I have tried F5 and down arrowing 4 times for speech, and that never works. Note, I did the F5 and down arrowing at the first pause of the spin-up from the CD. The Ubuntu music starts a while later. Since the speech never comes up, I do: control + alt + F1, and type in: orca and it sounds like eSpeak giving me a bunch of options, like language, what I want to have echoed, Braille display or not, and so on. But here's the big problem. It says I need to log out and back on again for it to continue. Why doesn't it just come up talking? Also, is there a better voice than eSpeak? gErvin at cableone.net,
