I was just contacted by a person in Russia who is working on a version
of Linux for the blind, called ALT Linux Homeros.  Here's it's home
page in Russian:

http://homeros.altlinux.org/

Here's it's homepage translated by Google:

I think we should make a page with links to all the specialty distros.
