Well obviously gnome-terminal comes with it, but a text-console 
screenreader no.
A text console obviously comes since gnome runs on vc7, if you do alt + 
control + F1 you will be in text console 1.
Use alt+control+f2 to get to console 2 etc.

I strongly suggest you read my emails carefully next time, because its 
annoying to have to repeat yourself... Now I can't even remember what I 
wrote... Let me see. Oh ok. If you do some research you will find out that 
BRLTTY is a braille driver. Do you use braille?
If not you will want to use speakup...

You don't have to compile a speakup kernel if you are happy to use my 
prebuilt one... It just needs to be install with dpkg... I guess you know 
about that?
Its 2.6.23 is that ok?

Cheers, and good luck,
