Hello,

I'm looking for recommendations for a linux distro or one I can use that can be put on to a thumb drive, booted from same, and then comes up with either cli or graphical speech.

All information appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

Well, they just released 4.0. You'll need to download the dvd iso first, then put it on a USB stick. On 8/6/13, David Mehler wrote:

Hi. There is also sonar, which I believe uses a more recent version of the ubuntu distribution and more up-to-date kernel. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Jackie McBride Sent: Tuesday, August 06, 2013 12:46 AM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] USB linux versions with speech out of the box Tried Vinux?
