I haven't been following.
But ubuntu:
www.google.com
Or www.ubuntu.com
Google may find it easier...

Dunno about the rest, although it would be nice to test speakup.
Because a linux gui isn't really that accessible. The cli is the best part 
about it.

Well a temp dir I guess on the cd. But it is removed on shutdown.
So install lots of stuff while you are booted. But as soon as you shutdown 
your computer it all goes except the default packages included like:
gnome, open office, orca, brltty, firefox etc.
Its just
apt-get install whatever
or apt-cache search
You need sudo for some things too obviously.
