Hi Kendell and all. You forgot to mention Debian GNU/Linux that provide 
a good accessibility. The installer is also fully accessible in both 
speech and braille. It's also a distribution that have release cycle 
that make it extremely stable and the accessibility team is attentive to 
eliminate accessibility break. Normally each Debian stable is also or 
better accessible that the old stable.

Best regards.
