Ubuntu did indeed have speakup support in 7.x, I think it was 7.0, but I could be wrong. They dropped it however, along with other distros when linux 2.6.22 came out, and because they claimed nobody was willing to help them with it, and they had some sort of problems with it, though I don't remember what those were. All the grizzly details are in the speakup list archives though, for anybody who wants to know more.
