Re: [orca-list] Run Vibuntu on USB with persistant storage!

Hi Ignasi, I completely agree with your views. It would be great if some 
of the irritants of ubuntu could be removed like pulse and things like 
speech-dispatcher could be configured in advance. Maybe inclusion of all 
free synthesisers like festival, mbrola etc could also be considered.
Thanks,
Aruni.
