I guess you could always put Android , or Chrome on it. But I will bet that speakup will work just fine. Anyone want to recommend a good cli word processor? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Buddy Brannan" <buddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, February 20, 2012 8:04 PM Subject: Re: Anyone thought about raspberry pie? Hi, Yes, Arm is a different architecture, but that doesn't mean Speakup won't compile for it. Doesn't mean it will, but it seems to me that it should. Well, for $35, I reckon a bunch of us can get them and play around with them, anyway. I'm game. And, speak should work, I mean, they got it to work on Android, and most of those devices are Arm-based. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or 888-75-BUDDY On Feb 20, 2012, at 7:52 PM, Kyle wrote: > From the website: > > What Linux distros will be supported at launch? > > Fedora, Debian and ArchLinux will be supported from the start.
