I thought folks on this list might be interested in a podcast from Eyes On Success which features an interview about the release of Vinux 4.0 this week.  Below are the relevant links, show notes, and a brief description:

Show Notes
Vinux is a version of the Linux operating system that has been optimized for the needs of blind and low vision users. Vinux provides two screen-readers, screen magnification, many other features and support for USB Braille displays. Join hosts Nancy and Peter Torpey as they speak with Rob Whyte of the Vinux project about what’s new in their latest release, Vinux 4.0 .

FYI we also did an episode a while back which featured the original developers of Vinux.  Below are the links and a brief description for that episode:
