So, now I've got a vote not to change the default settings, which I guess cancels the one vote to change them. To date, Vinux is primarily a platform that talks, and comes with speakup using espeak by default, so I guess there's not much advantage to a custom kernel (whew!). I have run Ubuntu Lucid Alpha without gdm installed so that you boot into a console read by speakup. I do like that mode. However, I think the "standard" Vinux ISO will have gdm, but a "CLI" version could be built without it. The problem with building a Debian package for each new kernel Ubuntu ships is that users will find that speakup stops talking after random upgrades. I'm tempted instead to detect that soft_synth isn't loading properly, and then to compile a new speakup during boot. Thanks for the rapid feedback.
