[nfbcs] ubuntu server with speakup

[Jack Heim]

It occurs to me that by "built in", the OP was probably asking if the 
speakup kernel modules are built into the ubuntu server kernel. The 
answer is that they are. To use software speech, you only need to 
install the espeakup package, "apt-get install espeakup".

I haven't tried ubuntu zesty (17.04) but the ubuntu server yakkety 
install did not have speech. But you can install ubuntu desktop and 
change it to server. In fact, ubuntu server and desktop now use the same 
kernel so there isn't much point in switching from desktop to server 
unless you want to save disk space by removing the gui. On the other 
hand, on a server, you might want to stay in the cli and use speakup. 
That's what I do on most of the servers I manage. But leaving the gui on 
there and using orca is a valid option too.
