vmware

The installation process for vmware itself is entirely text-based.  However,
to actually create a VM you need to use the GUI wizard, which is a real shame.
They might be willing to provide a non-GUI version of that though, if enough
people support that request, I think.

The other issue though is that e.g. to install Windows in a VM, you of course
have to go through the entire Windows installation process which is also very
GUI based, and I am not aware of anything that provides speach assistance at
that stage of the game.
