yep, I've been using/programming linux ViaVoice on and off for the last
8 months, it requires a P166MMX minimum, with 64 Meg of ram. A bit too
much of a stretch for my wearable ;(..  
At home in a quiet room I can achieve reasonable results on a P200, but
in the lab where there is a lot of ambient noise/computer fans etc...
the recogniser is a little flakey on a similar spec'd machine.

I might get the CMU one going soon and do a brief comparision of the
two...
