Great. How do I start it talking after boot?
For most people, I recommend Ubuntu MATE.
Same question applies.
Download and burn the DVD from here:

Boot the DVD. Wait about a minute. You're supposed to hear a sound, but I
didn't hear it here. Press Super-Alt-S to start the screen reader. The
Super key is also known as the Windows key. You should hear speech. If you
don't, try again. I noticed it took more than once here sometimes. If you
don't like a GUI, there isn't much point in trying Ubuntu since it's
primarily for desktops. Assuming your sound card is detected, you should be
given an option to try Ubuntu or install. You want to try Ubuntu, even if
you decide to install it. Note that you'll have very low volume, so if you
can't hear it, don't assume it didn't work. I had to really strain to hear,
but speech did start. I was able to do the installation by myself without
sighted help.
