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. The only one that comes to mind right now is ADRIANE Knoppix, but I believe it makes use of Orca. I don't really need a GUI, although it can be helpful at times, but I am just curious to see if there is anyone else on the list who knows of any distros for this sort of task that could be run from a CD or USB key that have Speakup readily available. I am still a bit new to screen reading software, but it is sure making my life much easier. What little vision I have seems to get much more easily strained nowadays. Thanks for any input.
