However, I will also acknowledge that Adrian Knopix is the easiest to use for blind beginners, while blind = power programmers seem to prefer emacspeak on the consoles. That said, most blind Vinux users seem to spend most of their time in speakup on the consoles. I think the value of learning how to work in = the consoles with speakup is huge.
