[gentoo-dev] Speech on the Gentoo Linux LiveCD

[Keith Hinton]

Hello,
I would strongly recommend adding Speakup access into the Gentoo
installation media, probably with software speech, as hardware speech
is becoming quite outdated.
Feel free to email me if you folks want offf-list to discuss some of this.
Regards, --Keith

 Keith,

 we are going to add both.  Yes, there are some situations where
 hardware speech doesn't work, but because of speakup/espeakup's design,
 it is easy to add both.

[gentoo-dev] Has anyone tried to use Linux Unified Kernel ?

[Branko Badrljica]

These gyus ( http://linux.insigma.com.cn/en/index.php ) are working on
support for running Windows binaries in Linux kernel.

It works by supporting Win syscalls directly in kernel or ( for
unsupported ones ) by redirecting them to patched Wine server.

Authors say that end effect is much less speed loss.

Their previous versions were too limited and since they were written as
a patch against vanilla-2.6.23, I had no luck trying them on anything newer.

But latest version 0.24 is reportedly much closer to real deal. I could
apply majority of the patches to gentoo-sources-2.6.29-r4 and I'm
curious whether anyone here tried to fiddle with LUK and could post here
final gentoo-ready version.

Unfortunately, this version still doesn't support ext4, but this should
come soon...
