[LAU] which lau distro is more commandline friendly?

[Karen Lewellen]

I never said such a thing.
I said that no Linux distribution supports the synthesizer I use.  I also 
said this  is 100% unimportant because I have absolute zero interest in 
running  speech directly from my Linux setup.
what on earth is wrong with that?
  Why is my desire to use a machine as I can such an issue with 
people providing   ideas I never asked for at all, and who are not going 
to  be using my computer?
I have a full set of Debian  squeeze, after another Debian expert, again 
leading with
their limited dictionary, sent me a hard drive with a so called 
install...excluding any access to the internet whatsoever, and most of 
Debian's function.
Help is terrific when it is on topic of what is requested.
i have never in any way shape fashion or form asked anyone on this list to 
facilitate my use of speech directly on a Linux box. not at all never not 
once.
I have asked more important for me, general questions about Linux and its 
music making aspects, because I feel how I accommodate my *personal 
experience*  is my job...and no one else living  unless I am paying them.
After all I am the only personal occupying   this body  which means I know 
better than others what will or will not contribute to my professional 
progress.
