Hewlet Packard and Linux

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Dr. Don:

You sure can. Speakup runs just fine with Redhat or Debian or 
Slackware--and probably all the linux distributions.

I, and others here on the list will help you get going, I'm sure.

First question: Do you have a nice broadband connection to the net? You 
can download iso images with speakup already inside, but it's a mega 
download job -- about 5 CD ROMs worth of download. Can you handle that?
