emacs v. xemacs is a personal choice. I dropped xemacs when it forced me to
install esound.
$ dpkg --get-selections|grep emacs
emacs-goodies-el install
emacs21 install
emacs21-el install
emacsen-common install
is what I have installed on my machines. 21 is the newest and unless you can
not due to emacspeak you should use it.
Before you go this route, double check on what emacspeak needs. Last I looked
it required non free and perhaps even non packaged items.
