As I've no idea to which machine you are talking it's hard to say. The
Asus eee PC has revolutionised the laptop market. The original came as
2 Gig or 4 Gig versions. They have a cut down Zandros Linux based on
KDE which means it has no accessible attractions in it's natural state.
I've got debian with a speakup kernel installed but I can't find an easy
way for new users to get one up and talking quickly.

You'll have to educate me on this one.. As I understand it. BSD is not
Linux and Linux is not BSD. You have Open BSD which is free like Linux
but I don't know of any access solutions for Open BSD. Although, the
Mini Mac's OSX is very similar to Open BSD. So in it's natural state a
modern Mini Mac will talk straight out of the box using Voice Over.
