Best text-based speakup linux install

[Zachary Kline]

Joseph,

I think ArchLinux is probably a good idea, assuming the CPU is new enough. It’s optimized or 686-class and later, which limits a lot of very old hardware. It’s certainly possible to install on a system with low memory, though I haven’t encountered one myself for a while.

Best,
Zack.
