Distributions with speakup modified kernels?

[Luke Davis]

Having used Redhat, Slackware, and Debian, at various times during the

comments below.  The package manager is quite nice, accessible kernels are
readably available (speakup modified, that is), and installs from start to
finish are possible.

I've used it and don't like it, and a lot of the people I've talked to from various places are starting to become unhappy with it. Then again, a lot of people still like it, so your choice I guess. I've heard similar things about fedora as well.
