http://www.grml.org/ has an iso file for download. It's a livecd that can
also be used to install linux if you like it. Try booting and when the
disk stops for a few seconds type grml swspeak then hit return. If you
have a sound card with active speakers you'll hear a message saying grml
finished booting and telling you to type swspeak again. This is only
necessary if linux isn't installed on the hard drive. Type swspeak again
and you'll have speech.

yes, Ubuntu live cd for gutsy (7.10) works pritty good.
after you put the cd inside and start booting, keep the hand to the cd
rom drive and the moment it stops vibrating, press f5 then number 3
and press enter 2 times.
the system will boot with the orca screen reader.
just in case you fail to do so, let ubuntu boot and then press alt +
f2 and type orca.
