 From what I've read and seen, I would recommend ubuntu.  It is by far 
the easiest distro to install.  The screen reader you'd use with it is 
called orca and it's built into the distrobution.  Currently there  
isn't anyway t lay two sounds at the same time without some hacking but 
this should get better in the next few months.  BRLtTY does suport the 
pacmate as far as I know.
