RE: Help with a Linux for blind people

Ubuntu supports speech with orca quite well. You just press <f5> while bo=
oting 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.
