Ok. Point taken. The idea of the original posting was NOT to include it in the kernel. (We cannot take another 200-300K in the kernel. Bloating = uncool) A deamon of some sort is a much better idea. I'm sorry if I've stepped on some toes. (Just in the midst of the whole Java thing -- not cool at all)
We all want the same thing: a better Linux, and if we step on each others toes while going for that goal, mainly because of small misunderstandings, well such is life. Just like JAVA support, speech recognition doesn't belong in the kernel itself. (So let's stop this whole thread.) I'm proud of Linux and one of the things that is great about it is that it is so small and flexible. Lets keep it like that.
