	One or the other, not both please.  There are many free
operating systems that run X of some form.  There is no good technical
reason for a X screen reader to be Linux  dependent, so I don't think
it is a good idea  to introduce unnecessary non-portable features.

	I understand some people's desire to have a console mode
screen reader  and agree that this might have to be Linux dependent.
Either one of these goals would be reasonable, but  not both in the
same product.
