It looks like Debian might be the best choice. However, I need brltty to run at boot-up, so it shows the login mesage. Is there a package for Debian that will set this up. I also need brltty 5.2, because 5.1 won't work with my Focus 40 Braille display. I don't want a graphical interface preloaded. Ubuntu 14.04 sometimes behaves strangely at the command line.
