Tell me then who forbid mainstream distros to do their best to add the 
features proposed by Vinux ?
IMHO as long as mainstrem distro accessibility teams refuse to see they are
restricting blind people's accessibility, then any alternate have a good
reason to exist, including Adriane and Vinux.

BTW, and this is a main advantage of those remastered distros, they do
publish much more and faster new releases with bug fixes than a mainstream
distro can and will do.

Finally, I can understand criticisms but not when it comes from people who
are telling the other what to do and what not while they do continue to use
the F.... Microsoft operating system, that may IMHO also be a poinht of
discussion, why does some users criticate distros like Adriane/Vinux while
they do continue to fake they are Gnu/Linux and opensource addicted ?
