Speakup.  It has a Speakup kernel already on the CD, and the menus are
easy to navigate.  You just get fiewer apps, but more apps can be
downloaded from places like sourceforge.net, and some of the configuration
is less automated than Redhat.  The problem you had with the Redhat menu
interface is that they use starrs * to indicate that a particular option
in the menu is checked, and the punctuation level is set too low to pick
them up and actually read them.  Slackware's installer uses x's, so
speakup picks them up really easily.  Debian has the most apps, as far as
I know, but Speakup doesn't install from the CD's.  I have gotten by just
fine using Slackware with Speakup and just downloading the apps I need.
