I use slackware 9.0, I love it... I am not normally a linux person, because
I've worked with bsd platforms for years spisificly freebsd, I wish speakup
would be ported to freebsd someday... but slackware is the one I found
easest to install. I like the hardware support, and it doesn't take much
room up like rh does.

Subject: Which linux distro??
ok folks. I need to pose a question to you all that I have already asked
before, and the responses some time ago suggested that redhat may be the
best way to go... things may have changed since folks on the speakup list
are talking about the lack of built in speakup support with new versions of
redhat.
So. the question is... for a blind person, new to linux wanting to have a
speech based system with emacspeak and speakup and wanting to start taking
advantage of newer stuff with gnome etc. and also wanting good support of
new hardware... which linux distro would people recommend.
I am hearing that slackware or debian or redhat are the three that most
people seem to use, with redhat looking a bit shakey lately. slackware 9
seems to have the newest gnome stuff...???
or maybe people think that redhat 7.3 with a speakup kernel is the best way
to go?
please give me your thoughts.
