Inquiry

Hi folks,

I'm a new member to this list, linux and the speakup product but I've been 
involved in the IT field for about 20 years now.  I just about to set up my 
first Linux box with speakup and hope you can give me some advice and 
excuse the dum questions.

1: Does speakup require any specific version of Linux such as Redhat 7 or 
above?

2: I've downloaded the Speakup product and was wondering where I should 
place it on the Linux box prior to unpacking it, is there a recommended 
location?

2A: ... and can someone tell me what the command is to unpack the package?

3: In a previous note which I read on this list, someone mentioned 
something about a speech enabled kernal.  Now I may have misunderstood this 
note but do I have to replace the kernal with a speech enabled one prior to 
trying to set up Speakup?

4: The version of Linux I'll be using was obtained from the clarkConnect 
site whom I believe uses the Redhat product, they've just done some 
tweeking.  Is anyone else on the list using this Linux configuration and if 
so what has your experience been?

Thanks for all the help.
