Hi, For a while now, I have been doing most computer activities on a Microsoft Windows computer because of accessibility reasons. I was still wishing to play with Linux. I considered installing VMWare workstation 6. While I have a computer that is more the capable of handeling the job, I here things are about ruffly, 30 percent slower, such as compiles, etc, rather then ran on a native system. whyile this does not concern me, I do have some questions. Would things like Speakup be able to operate, and if so, with wich software synthesizer specifically? Flite, appears to not work, and produces clicking sounds through the sound card if VMWare is used. Flite only works ona native Linux install. Problem though, is if I install Linux onto my bran-new dual-core, it will be idling most of the time running services on the LAN, and never actually being used. People tel me native installations of Linux and Speakup usage are better, but still, I'm not really sure. Also, does anyone know how responsive the new ESpeak Speech-Dispatcher module is over the generic one? Regards, --Keith
