Help with a Linux for blind people

[Don Raikes]

Ubuntu supports speech with orca quite well. You just press <f5> while booting and arrow down 3 times (I think) and press enter. Then once ubuntu boots into gnome, orca starts talking.

I am not remembering whether braille is supported, but it probably is as well.  I have used orca successfully with an alva satelite display under fedora.
