Well the one I found was 2.6.23 Or something like that.
The version is in the speakup patch name.
(Using the fedora speakup patch)

In a limited fashion the most recent kernels speakup works with are
2.6.24.x from git repository.  By limited I mean you can build as
modules or you can build in one synth.  Work continues.

If I am running debian lenny (unstable) what kernel should I get?
And where would I get it from?

Also when installing speakup what instructions do I follow?

And do I need to do anything to grub?

Thanks,

For installing a new kernel you can get kernels from
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/v2.6
As of right now the latest seems to be 2.4.24.
I haven't patched a recent kernel with the latest version of Speakup so
you'll want to follow the git instructions.
As far as compiling the kernel after the Speakup patch has been applied go:
make config or make menuconfig
make bzImage
Then copy System.map to /boot and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and create a
definition for your new image.
This file has good examples for doing this.

2.6.24, not 2.4.24. Just figured I'd better point that out so it doesn't
confuse anyone.
