Great on the install Bruce.

..... I vaguely remember some issues with Ubuntu and pulseaudio audio at one
point...(And I know that with archlinux installs I had to add aoss to the
command invocation to get freetts to talk thru the alsa setup as freetts
uses oss stuff. That is if I recall correctly.)

Does Kbuntu use pulseaudio like Ubuntu ?
