Probably Slackware 15.0 will have software speech support available in 
some form.  The reason for that is no more cpaacity to use hardware 
speech synthesizers as was the case in early kernel 3.0 days.  If that 
happens, that will be a no internet required install as well.  Slackware 
has done that since its beginning and that was the first commercial 
Linux distro on the market.
