Well, freebsd does not work with speakup.
- From personal experience, I would suggest gentoo or debian. They're both good distros, and their package managers are easy to manage.

i don't know if there are install disks for mandrake, and I've heard good things about slackware. As for redhat, I've heard mixed things. I've used it and don't like it, and a lot of the people I've talked to from various places are starting to become unhappy with it. Then again, a lot of people still like it, so your choice I guess. I've heard similar things about fedora as well.

Honestly, I'd experiment with  a couple of distros, and then decide what you like from that. If you're new to linux, I'd suggest debian, but up to you..
