Thanks Mo,
I am downloading at this stage.
In the mean while, I got the pi up and running by using putty. I have
already configured the pi and did the update and upgrade.
Once your image is downloaded, I will write it to another card and try it.
Also, will you be adding speech to the latest release?
Thanks very much.

Hi.
don't use the default raspbian image. download the image that was recently
produced and posted to this list by me. the link is below.
write this image to your SD card.
the release announcement is below.
New image with speech available for download!
Hello Everyone.
This message is not in relation to the thread posted earlier today which
refers to someone's custom image. To help Mike out, i've put together a
stock raspbian image with speech included. This image was produced on the
raspberry pi 2 using a 4GB SD card. I would strongly recommend trying this
image using a card which is 8GB or more in size. I would be happy Mike if
you want to use this image on the website as an official release once
testing is complete.
I would be grateful if people can test it and report back.
Notes:
* this release is based on the 2015-05-05-raspbian-wheezy image.
* installed all latest available updates.
* changed root password to raspberry, so you can log in with either
pi/raspberry or root/raspberry.
* enabled console log in by default, so the log in screen comes up not the
raspbi-config script.
* copied raspi-resize script. so after writing image log in as pi and run
sudo raspi-expand-rootfs.sh
and then sudo reboot to expand your file system. ignore any errors the file
system will expand. many thanks to mike for making his excellent code and
scripts available for this release. Please test and report back.

happy testing!
all the best,
Mo.

Hi All,Foundation.
I have just joined this list. I have just got my first Raspberry Pi
which is the module 2 with quad core processor.
I still have not plug it in yet. I have downloaded the latest Raspian
from the raspberry pi website and wrote it to a 16 Gb micro sd card.
While investigating this, I saw that there was an image on the
Raspberry Vi website that I believe has speech in the console. Now,
before I start, which will be the best distro to use that has speech.
I don't mind even using the pi headless but, if I want to work on the
pi itself, that's where I would like speech.
Thanks for any pointers.
Thanks.
I have used Vinix, Grml, Ubuntu in the past but, I am no expert.
