I recently wrote a wiki entry on how to use the accessibility features of the latest grml release. You can find it here: http://wiki.iavit.org/index.php/Accessing_grml I would also recommend that you check out vinux. Grml is a live CD designed to be used for rescuing computers. Vinux is a ubuntu fork with speech enabled by default. They're not really competitors. PS: The wiki in the URL above is for the International Association of Visually Impaired Technologists. If you want to give something back to the blind community, consider writing some wiki entries and sharing your knowledge. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert cole" <rkcole72984@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup List" <Speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, January 16, 2012 3:31 PM Subject: Speakup enabled Distros for Blind Technicians > Hello, everyone. > > I do a lot of PC repair work for different people (friends, family, etc), > and I was wondering if there are any live Linux distributions which are > Speakup-enabled that would aid me in this task.
