Thanks!
Building espeakup from source don't sound that scary.
I need software speech.
So I install the appropriate speakup_modules using aptitude.
Build and install espeakup.
Run modprobe speakup_soft and add speakup_soft to /etc/modules.
Run espeakup

Is that all there is to it?
If I want espeakup to start automatically when booting up?
Do I just put espeakup in /etc/rc.local?

I'll try googling for the latest espeakup source.
And a guide/HOWTO on building and install it.
