Ubuntu live CD

IMHO, Ubuntu feisty 7.04, is a good one to try.  Orca and gnome is quite 
heavy on resources, so you might find it unresponsive on your box.  The 
text-only mode with speakup, also included in that distro, will  work 
fine.
In Orca, Once you got that focustracking message, press alt-f1 and you 
should get a menu.
