slackware isn't talking yet. That may change though since Patrick
Volkerding found out all the hardware synthesizers that were able to have
slackware talking have been disabled by a block the linux kernel folks put
in the kernels. Patrick is considering putting the whole espeakup
dependency stack on slackware install disks as a result of the breakage.
Patrick tried the patch supplied by John Heim here on speakup and found
that it works but if espeakup module is ever removed it results in a
kernel panic and a system crash.
Gentoo does talk, but to the best of my knowledge nobody has done a
podcast episode explaining how to use the speakup facilities to gentoo
installed in such a way that gentoo comes up talking on first reboot after
system installation is complete. If I can get that podcast episode, I'll
be installing gentoo here on at least one large hard disk I have.

Hello,
Adding to this I'm using arch Linux in a VMware virtual environment,
workstation11, and talking arch does not work in this setup. I'm
suspecting it has something to do with the hdaudio driver emulating a
7.1 surround as opposed to the older es1371, but I have not found a
fix.
Unrelated, but if either Gentoo or slackware are talking I'd like to
know about them.
Thanks.
Dave.

Thanks guys. As a corelary, if any assistance is needed in maintaining
this installation media or anything, I would be happy to help. My
experience is mostly with Gentoo, Slackware, and currently picking up
Arch Linux.
