speakup laptop research

[Jude DaShiell]

It could be smartco.org may be able to provide me with a used and 
refurbished laptop in exchange for some of the hours I worked at 
smartco.org disassembling computers.  What smartco needs to know is what 
would be specs for a useable laptop as opposed to a laptop that's best not 
used to run speakup-enabled Linux.  I have grml here and got it installed 
on a hard drive for a desktop computer last night and also have debian and 
slackware 10.2 as a result of a slackware subscription.  Smartco does not 
want to provide me with something that isn't useable so I've been asked to 
do sme research.
