-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 This is interesting news indeed. I've been a slackware user for over 15 years but over the past year I bounced around with Debian and now have really come to like ArchLinux. But I have an old laptop which won't run any of the newer distros and Slackware is one distro whose install disk still works on it. I'd be interested in seeing how you come out. Since my main development machine is running Arch now, it would be quite difficult to try and help out and build slackware packages on it to try on my old laptop. The laptop is much too slow to go and compile kernels and build large packages like that. But it has a serial port so installing the old way with my external speakout has not been a problem for me. I also agree however that software speech needs to be considered at all points and should be a native part of install disks. Another thing to get the audio drivers to work and all is UDEV; I'm not experienced with hardware detection but whatever you use to get speech going needs to find the correct sound card to use. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREDAAYFAktBxcUACgkQWSjv55S0LfEzfACfcDaeM+gUf02/UUR7QryjpnK5 IpYAoKSPBVI9ogQpBLddFRZDKBi9jRN4 =YkNJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
