hardware speech (was: Accessible Live CD's?)

[John G. Heim]

I wrote up some docs on getting the debian wheezy kernel patched to work 
with hardware synths.  There are pre-patched kernels there too. I 
personally use  these pre-patched kernels on literally hundreds of 
machines I maintain  in my job. But I have yet to hear of anyone else 
using them successfully. On the other hand, I only posted them a couple 
of weeks ago. Anyway, here is a link to the docs:
