ViaVoice Tidbits

No I am just building it all from source.

Right now there is only one piece of software on my system that I didn't
build from source, and that is viavoice. I don't recommend this for anyone
new to linux, but I gotta say this, if you like slackware, this takes it
to a whole new level. I have the simplest init routines on the planet
probably, because I'm not an ISP or corporate server, I'm just a measly
ole user who doesn't need much :) One thing that is cool is that I know
exactly what all these libraries and programs are for.

In the linux world, one tends to get roped into the "might need this"
syndrome <g> where you keep installing stuff, because you might need
this lib and might need that. It's getting out of control I think.
