Speakup Modified Fedora 4 Will Be Delayed

[Janina Sajka]

I don't know that it's RH specific, or just changes that are in for
2.6.12. I would suspect the latter.

I expect we'll torrent around the initial release, but I'm not convinced
torrent is the best answer for on going availability. There just aren't
enough of us to make a good swarm and distribute the load so that nobody
is overwhelmed.

I do expect Cheap Bytes will again carry the Speakup Modified on cdr.
For $10 I think that's a pretty good deal, and no one associated with
the Speakup Modified gets any money on it, so you can know my opinion is
not motivated that way.
