Dependable when everything else turns to dust. And thanks for clearing up the status of things as they are currently. Until I came to the Raspberry Pi I had no reason to touch kernel development or debugging at all but as Linus said in an interview with the BBC; 'the Raspberry Pi makes falure affordable'. It certainly makes it possible for me to brick enough installations to build a house. But I can't get SpeakUp to run with any stability. I suspect that's because of something fundamental about the platform. But I'm pretty determined to get it going and bring accessibility to the Linux cli on the Pi. If I can help in any way with updating the web site I'd be happy to do what I can.
