looking for a "good" accessible linux distro

[Dawes, Stephen]

I am using Centos, but have not added the Speakup patches to the kernel. I login to the console all the time. I use a remote login however from an older Linux box that has Speakup running on it.

Yes I discovered the talkingarch livecd earlier this morning, so I am testing it out.

So far I have it installed, and am ready to start customizing the packages I have on it.

hello:
I don't know about using ex--I assume it could be done well, but I'd like to recommend arch. It's got a really light footprint, which is really nice for a live cd. Chris Brannon also wrote a remaster tutorial or something of the sort up on his blog, that he also links to in a few other places.
