Re: [orca-list] sonar bersion based off of debian sid and wheezy

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Debian Is easiest because it comes up talking with speak up at the very beginning. Even  during installation. 
 It is only when you install X that problems arise if you do not take steps to filter pulse audio out of the 
mix.  This beats ubuntu because in ubuntu you have to take steps to activate speakup since it is not 
activated by default even with the talking installer. This is a shame since the better hardware support can 
be found in Ubuntu and not debian.
