Ann, I would beg to differ with the lack of screen reader argument.
Emacs-speak is not available during boot-up, and you can't use Emacs-speak
to installl your distro, I don't think.  Note, I'm not saying that it's
useless or anything, but it does have limitations, as does any software,
Speakup included.

Cheers.
