If gentoo or ubuntoo or any distro doesn't include speakup, how about a script that grabs a kernel from kernel.org, extracts, patches, compiles, and installs it? I once made a script that built an entire linux system from scratch, I mean building the toolchain and all, if that's possible surely this is too. I suppose the tricky part is kernel config, but even then it should be possible to make a generic kernel that would boot with speech on just about anything, with some work. Or, you could use slackware, hehe. Screw gentoo. Just kidding. -- Doug
