Hi,
Has anyone here ever tried Slacko Puppy Linux?
I just booted to it on a thumb drive in my Asus 701 EEEpc.
It used to run XP, and has a limited 4 GB internal drive and 2 GB of RAM.
I booted it up, and can do speaker-test, and I have read that the package
manager has limited packages.
It didn't come with espeak or espeak-ng, and I'm not sure yet if they are in
its repository.
If I can make it work, it seems light enough.
Does anyone know of a more Debian/Ubuntu like distro that is really light
that can run on an older computer like this?
Thanks.
Glenn

Never heard of that flavor. Has the distro got any python and maybe some
form of pip? Reason I ask is you could pip install fenrir-screenreader if
pip is available.
