redHat advanced server 2.0 and speakup

Wed Apr 16 01:53:05 EDT 2003

Aaron:  have you ever heard of the GPL??  For your hacking pleasure: 
ftp://updates.redhat.com/enterprise/2.1AS/en/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.4.18-E.25.src.rpm
Now that I kno that people are interested in AS, I'll see if I can hack 
Speakup into the kernel.  BTW, the source for the rest of the distro is 
available also.

          HTH.
