Hello!
And also, there are those small distros that can run just of a floppy.
I don't know any names of those, but I know they exist.
When installing my server I tried both debian and fedora, and with both you
can deselect the x stuff, and just run on the console.

You can also use ubuntu server which does not install the X windows
stuff. I don't know if the installer works with speech or braille
however.

As you mention, Debian will do quite nicely. For a while I had an
ancient laptop (P133 with 32 megs of memory) that ran console Debian. It
worked fairly well -- minus the lousy battery.
Debian of course is but how about gento or how do you spell it?
Yes, Gentoo should work just fine from the console, as would any number
of distros such as Red Hat/Fedora, Slackware (my first distro), and
others.
Personally, I've used the power of "apt-get" in Debian and it's hard to
go back to other distros.
Can you install gento with speech or braille?
I'm nearly certain that it's possible to use speech/braille with most
distros, however, the ability to use them during the installation process
is a bit more particular. Most that allow for it provide a
specialized/modified boot-CD to accommodate.
