I think that all of the previous questions could be consolidated in to a
single question of who what where when how and why!

Again consolidation would be good for one question about equipment.

I think this question can be taken care of in the introductory material.

Let's not address this one please?  Religious war fair is not needed.

This question should point users to various appropriate installation
materials for distributions.


It seems to me that there are a lot of often answered questions on the
mailing list that need to be addressed so that people don't continue to
ask and answer the same questions.  A suggested list might be.

q. What versions of speakup work with what kernels?

q. why doesn't speakup come up talking when I use bla bla bla distros
boot disk?

q. what is the status of cursering?

q. what are the current goals of speakup short term and long term?
