My last experience with Slackware is you had to use a hardware synth. Yes, Speakup comes with Slackware; just use the speakup.s image if memory serves me right. I may be attempting a new Slackware install on my old laptop here as no other distro will work on it; most distros require newer processors than this laptop and Slackware was the only one I could get to work on it. I just hope the latest Slackware uses a kernel that still allows speakup to use serial ports. I think it is kernels of 2.6.34 and later that speakup's serial support falls appart.
