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

* debian files for installation ` Ameer Armaly @ ` Angelo Sonnesso 0 siblings, 0 replies; 8+ messages in thread From: Angelo Sonnesso @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup 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. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Will Smith ` Ameer Armaly @ ` Thomas Ward ` Ann Parsons 2 siblings, 0 replies; 8+ messages in thread From: Thomas Ward @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Will Smith <wilsmith@iglou.com> To: <speakup@braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 8:14 PM Subject: Which flavor of linux to run with Speakup? > > The subject line says it all.

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.
