Re: [orca-list] Opensuse or Ubuntu?

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

GRML has an accessible install using software speech, and you can use 
the GRML CD to install debian as well. Have a look at the following 
pages (look at the swspeak boot option for software speech output):

* GRML accessibility wiki page
(http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=accessibility)
* grml2hd (http://grml.org/grml2hd/)
* grml-debootstrap (http://grml.org/grml-debootstrap/)

Hope that helps
