Talking ubuntu server install

[Øyvind Lode]

I've always wanted to run Ubuntu Server.
I've tried installing Ubuntu Server for several releases but I've
never seen a screen reader like Speakup and other required packages
available on the images.
So, because of the Ubuntu Server images being inaccessible I've never
been able to install Ubuntu Server.
Of course I can get sighted assistance but I don't want to.
I'll stick to my trusty good old Debian which provides software speech
and Debian is still a brilliant option for a server.
