The subject line says it all. I've seen Red Hat, Debian and Slackware
mentioned most here. Any reason why a newcomer to linux and Speakup
should choose one flavor over others?
Any insight and help here would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

If you're trying linux, try zipspeak, if you can find it. I'm sure my
version is out of date, anyone know Matt Cambell's website?

Hi, I guess the major issue between distributions is how much manual labor
do you want to put into configuring your distribution.
Red Hat has many tools for auto configuring things such as sound cards, plug
n play detecting hardware, and adding new users. A feature that has made it
popular world wide.
Slackware andDebian setting them uptake more work, and you have to do most
of the setup and configuring by hand. No autoconfiguring unless you install
some configuration tools.
Other than that which distribution you choose is a personal decision.

I am currently working with Slackware 8.0, and wanted to try out debian.
I listened to Mat's tutorial, but the files he mentioned don't appear to be
on the speakup ftp site.
Can someone give me the name of the image files I need to get started?
I am pleased with Slackware, but I would like to try debian before I commit
to any particular flavor of Linux.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi all,
Wil, one's preference in distros is like anything else in the world,
chocolates, screen readers, cars, horses, or dresses for that matter.
All are good, each has certain features which make a difference to one
person or another. I like Debian because you can upgrade it easily,
and it seems the most user friendly. Most folks on here use
Debian, for what that's worth.
