Hey all, My name is Derek Roberts. I've been using speakup and linux for a while, but just subscribed to this list. (I've been using linux almost exclusively for the past 2 and a half months, a *LOT* better than vista!) I recently upgraded straight from Debian Lenny to Sid and am loving all the new features, have only had the system crash a couple times. For some reason, if I try pasting text into a console (this doesn't seem to have any effect if it goes in a screen, but maybe it's just random) it causes an instant kernel panic. I'm running kernel version 2.6.32-3-686 on a 32 bit machine and using software speech with espeakup. Any idea what's going on or how to fix it? Other than those panics, the system has been perfectly stable (so much for debian unstable! Ah well) and very fast. Thanks, Big D, a very happy convert from vista and jaws 10. .i doi .pikytcus. mi cuxna ba'e do
