[orca-list] Linux version to install

[Rob Hill <robhill es co nz>]

Hello Sean,

Look at 

http://vinux.org.uk/downloads.html

Vinux is based on Ubuntu Lucid, and comes withh speakup and orca
configured and ready to go, using espeak as synthesiser.
There is a 64-bit version.  

If you install voxin, which many think is one of the best TTS
synthesisers, by going to

http://voxin.oralux.net/get.php

you can then easily install emacspeak by downloading 

http://soft.oralux.net/emacspeak/Lucid/emacspeak_voxin_install.32_0.tgz

Voxin is not free, but very low cost.
