installing speakup on the netbook

[Pia]

I apologize for being off topic and not answering your question, but this 
brings up a good question.  What is everyone's opinion about what the most 
Speakup / Linux compatible Netbook is out there?  I am wondering what 
would work best and also what distros.

Thanks,

Pia
