Hi, Thanks very much for your suggestion. I'll send it to him. I personally like Intel NICs but I don't know anything about wireless. Regarding list policy, since he made it very clear to me that he doesn't want X, he would most likely use Speakup. I don't think he has a Braille display. Therefore, I want to find the best distro for a new user that includes speech out of the box without X, so I think it's on topic for the Speakup list.
