Why are you so opposed to Ubuntu as a base? I found it easier to build my
talking rescue CD than Debian. In fact, it runs on 15.10 core if memory
serves. I've had very good luck with Ubuntu MATE, again far better than with
MATE installed in Debian stable due to the faster release cycle. Yes, there
have been serious accessibility issues with Ubuntu in the past and the
server install is not going to be accessible any time soon, but for a fast,
reliable, talking graphical desktop with Orca, I think Ubuntu MATE is the
best out there. Unlike with Vinux and Sonar, the Ubuntu MATE live DVD didn't
crash my system and sound actually worked.

to see the Adriane accessibility suite ported upstream from Knoppix to
vanilla Debian and then propagate through all Debian derivatives. Or
at least get the parts of Adriane that provide a talking terminal that
I find far more usable than speakup and the ability to launch
Firefox+Orca without an entire desktop environment getting in the
way(though, if I could find a text-mode browser half as usable as
Firefox is with Orca, I might could free myself from the GUI once and
for all).
