Hi Steve. You bring up a good point. Linux is a kernel, and Debian and Redhat are the operating systems. Also other distributions such as Zipspeak and Slackware. Keeping this in mind, Speakup should work regardless of the distribution. As long as you are running in in the tty, things hsould work. Considering that Speakup is a kernel module.

Let's not get into distribution wars again.

You can install as little or as much of Redhat as you like. It is no
different then any other distribution in that respect. One of the bigger
differences between distributions is the package manager. A number of
distributions including RedHat use RPM as the package manager.
Similarly, Debian, and I am sure others, use APT, or whatever it is
called, as their package manager. Granted they are other differences
between distributions, that I won't get into in this note because I
don't know of them all. What I will say though, is that before slamming
a one distribution over another, maybe take a step back and think of the
other operating system that is made to run on the pc platform that not
open source. Open source is why Linux is where it is today. Open source
is why there are so many different distributions. Instead of slamming a
distribution, or saying that one distribution is better then another,
why not work towards getting speakup working on the distribution that
the user brings to the discussion. After all, isn't it better to have
speakup working with Linux regardless of the distribution? I'd say so!
