NOTE THE FOLLOWING!!!!!! YES, MY NEW MACHINE, a Dell Laptop, HAS UBUNTU 7.04 The feisty 
Fawn, AND IT HAS SPEECH  ORCA!!  It is an April 2007 release of Ubuntu.
It works, and I just started learning it, but Jaws does sound so much easier to listen to.
It doesn't have ESpeak.

The most common accessibility tools such as Orca and onBoard are 
preinstalled on any standard Ubuntu system and are easy to activate. The 
screen reader, magnifier and on-screen keyboard are all activated using 
the Gnome Assistive Technology Preferences panel, Found in the System 
Menu under Preferences.
