SV: Linux without sighted help

[Karen Lewellen]

Granted I am not looking at my post, but I feel sure I said that I already 
have a dec talk express and wish to use this.
equally granted I had not read much on Orca, but felt it was more focused 
on software not hardware synthesizer support.  However no one said anything 
so how could I clarify if the  question is entirely ignored?
I do not read every speakup post, but know that it will not be supported 
in some future distributions of  <spelling" eubentu, because of some 
kernel factors.
  In any case, I am speculating with little information.
The thread began with the discussion of starting up Linux without sighted 
help.
This at least suggests that the screen reader would have to be a part of 
the distro package for such to happen, which is why I asked about 
distributions not screen reader programs.
So I ask again. If one is using a dec-talk express, and wants a fully 
talking Linux distribution, who has maintained the best support for this 
synthesizer?  I am using an original dec-talk express, not a USB model.
Is that better? lol!
