No, speakup is in the debian repository. I use a stock kernel and just install
the modules. Works great. I haven't cooked a kernel in a few years.

Actually I just googled debian vmware and appliance. I can't remember the name
of the image, but that should get you something. After getting the image and
booting it I had to ssh to it from my MAC terminal and update it to sid, then
install speakup. It was fairly painless.
I suppose that if th

If you want a good place to start learning about using the terminal
and types of commands that you might issue from Terminal, I'd
recommend "Take Control of the Mac Command Line with Terminal" by Joe

Even easier, use script. First run script typescript.tmp . Next
run your job. Next type exit . Next type col -bx < typescript.tmp
typescript next type rm typescript.tmp finally type less

All well and good to have these tools available on the MAC. The only problem is
that VO access to the terminal is cumbersome at best. My solution to this is to
run a Debian VM and use speakup. Much better access to it's term there, and if

Yes, you have telnet, ssh, ftp and all the standard clients you'd expect. I'm
sure you could enable daemons to accept connections as well although consider
the security implications of doing that please.:)

excuse my nose here, but in theory would that let you say tellnet to a site

I don't know anything about this side of using a Mac at all. Is there a good
place to learn about it, right from scratch? I'll probably hardly need it,

Pythan and perl are also included.
I've already compiled zshel to use instead of bash.:)
You can also get a GCC for Mac and compile all the gnu tools.

Just to clerify this a little, Mac is BSD based and Linux is of course
System V.
So there are some pretty important differences. Anyone familiar with both

Linux does have Unix origins, and the Mac shell is Unix. It's also the Bash
shell, (Born Aag SHell). It's possible to do various kinds of scripting on it,
