This is a terrific answer.
Who is to say that it might not be possible to have the system configured?
As for audio access, one can also turn to the mac for this, or course
depending entirely on the goals here, which is the most important
consideration.

I doubt that you will find a system pre-installed with the requirements
you are loking for. You will have to obtain the hardware you want to
use, and install everything yourself.
I dunno. Both speakup and emacspeak are in the Ubuntu repositories. I
think I'd be tempted to give System76 (http://system76.com/), who
provide preinstalled Ubuntu systems, a ring and see if they couldn't
install those programs for me before or upon delivery. If not, it's a
one line command to install both on a new Ubuntu system:
sudo apt-get install speakup emacspeak
I also need as many audio tools as possible.
I am affraid you will have to stick to Windows if you need useful audio
tools that are accessible. While there are many tools for working with
audio under Linux, practically none of them are accessible.
Doesn't this depend on precisely what Jim's trying to do? For example,
if the graphical tools prove inaccessible, Linux has command-line
conversion tools for different audio formats, and command-line tools for
playing and burning CDs and transferring audio to bluetooth devices. Or
are the command-line tools actually much less accessible than I'm
imagining? Of course, Jim may be talking about composing music or
something.
