Need to install speakup on Suse 9.3

[Karen Lewellen]

My question exactly.
One of the first things I heard about Linux is that it is flexible, and the 
second that access speech and otherwise was or could be built in.  Why is 
it , especially with the distributors so willing to have all their products 
accessible will speakup not work with them?
