Also, apparently there is no braille output. this is a bit of short-sightedness that is surprising in a product that is supposed to be specifically for access by blind people. In addition, there is already a Linux minidistribution to help blind people get started that has both speech and braille output - BrlSpeak. Finally, do blind people really need a special distribution just because they are blind. I'm sticking with redhat, and I bet my Debian friends will stick with Debian.
