looking for a "good" accessible linux distro

[Kelly Prescott]

I suggest Debian  or Arch.
Debian works out of the box as long as you use software speech, and you 
can use the modified arch installer for Arch if you choose that.
I am not sure if the Debian installer talks, because I build my debian 
images in the Amazon cloud and then download them and image them onto the 
hard drives I use.
It is a strange process, but I get the exact stuff I want installed for 
each machine.
I also maintain a "shell" machine which is a netbook running Debian 
Testing that I use to connect to any machine that only has ssh access.
