choosing a distro and version

[Alex Snow]

Ed,
Wich speach synth are you using? I just cant seem to get my Braille Lite to
work, and that's the only thing I got (until tuxtalk is ready). Do you have
any ideas? I called tec support and they gave me all the dumb ass solutions
like "is your cable hooked up?
Thanks in advance,
Alex Snow
P.S. what kind of system are you using? I'm using a 1 gig amd box with 128
megs of ram and thirty gigs of disk
