It's not the defacto distro, and half the time you try running tasksel in the installation, it tries to remove the kernel, leaving you with a kernelless system. I also run 'apt-cache search speakup' in a cron job each night, get mailed the results, and so far I see nothing but the Shane kernel mentioned so far. According to the guys at freenode.net, Lenny will only have the 2.6.24 kernel, which will likely mean another search for a modified, non-standard install disk. I won't even go into how old their gnome-orca package is. Don't get me wrong. I'm running Debian and love it for other reasons. It still does little to support my needs as yet, so I can't truthfully recommend it to blind novices until that support exists in the stock distro. Linux is difficult enough without adding blindness and a lack of real support on top of that. If Lenny is released with SspeakUP, then I'll recommend it ahead of every other distro out there.
