Hi

I just thought there MUST be a Linux distribution for blind people and
a quick google might be interesting:

<http://tuxmobil.org/mobile_blind.html>

<http://www.redhat.com/archives/blinux-announce/2000-July/msg00002.html>,
however note its entry here <http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions/>

<http://linuxpr.com/releases/1480.html>

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oralux>

<http://mielke.cc/brltty/>

<http://www.brlspeak.net/>

There's also this place
<http://groups.google.co.uk/group/alt.comp.blind-users?lnk=lr&hl=en>
although a search for Linux by date is probably the way to go here.

So there are a few distributions we could try .. maybe in due course
if David has two or three spare computers we could load up each one
and test them with his users, then write up our results.
