Hi Peter, Those 3 distros work, and most distros work if you can build your own kernel compile it and install it... The kernel is fairly similar across all distros, but different distros add certain patches. And an advantage of using debian for example is that you can install speakup from aptitude using m-a instead of having to build from source... You can of course build from source as well if you would like. Not sure wherether ubuntu or fedora have speakup in their package manager... Cheers, Danny
