Debian upgrade to Jessie

[John G. Heim]

The softsynth module should be included in every kernel these days.

$ sudo modprobe speakup_soft

If you have an external doubletalk, it won't work unless you patch and 
recompile the kernel. An internal doubletalk will.

I just made a virtual 32 bit debian machine Friday evening  that I 
intend to use to recompile the debian kernel with the speakup paatch 
every time they come out with a new kernel. I think I can make it so it 
just runs all the time and when there is a new kernel, it upgrades 
itself, reboots, recompiles the kernel with the patch, and posts it to 
my debian repository on www.iavit.org -- I think.
