List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi, Glen: Thanks for the compliment on our writing. As to whether Red Hat and Debian offer the same to users--yes, with the understanding that they do it differently. And, you must also understand that people can become very passionate about such things. So, don't expect that we'll always want to revisit this ancient debate just because someone comes along and says "please talk about it again." Lastly, please don't follow the hyperlinks to iso images in that HOWTO document. I need to bring it up to date. The hyperlinks will still work, but they point to the previous version, and not the current one. Instead, goto any Red Hat mirror site, if you choose to download Red Hat, and be sure to download version 8.0. These iso images are still on the Speakup page at: http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/redhat/8.0/ You really only need the first three disc images, disc1, disc2, and disc3.
