List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: The answer to this question may be obvious to some, but I have only recently started considering setting up a Linux system. Can anyone tell me if there is any appreciable difference between say Redhat, Slackware and Mandrake as far as making Linux and the installation speak? I intend to run a Speak Out voice synthesizer with the Linux box which currently has Win XP installed. I am considering making the Linux system Linux only, and reformatting and particioning the hard drive, so having Linux speaking through the install would certainly be preferred. Any suggestions or documentation would be appreciated. Best regards, Les
