new linux user

[Georgina]

Hi

Could you explain what you mean?

"As far as I know, zipslack is still unfortunately at 7.1,"

Is it?

"not expect a new user to know how to modify zipslack into zipspeak."

You may be right but should we judge?  What is necessary to use a speaking
version of ZipSlack 8?

As far as I know, zipslack is still unfortuneately at 7.1,
which means he wouldn't get the latest zipslack.
Yes, I know he could get zipslack 8.0 and modify it, but I would
not expect a new user to know how to modify zipslack into zipspeak.
