hi,
all versions (they are excually called distribution) are rather fine to use.
It all depends on if you want to install yourself and how much knolidge about your hardware you have.
redhat is the most out-of-the-box like system (but I find it hard to change think because the way they put config files in is not always that straight forward)
debian is great to use and to play around with (but you need very specific knolidge about your system)
slackware and this I never used so I go with what someoen told me is easy to install yourself as blind user. They even have some installdisks with accessstuf on it standart, but there packagemanager seems to be timeconsuming.

Now before I am stockpiled under flames from redhad and slackware usersers, please don't.

jost forgot, I failed getting debian installed with a brailledisplay and had to ask sighted assistance for that.

versions of linux: that's what the version of the linux kernel is.

success
