what wouldbe the most blind friendly distribution of linux

[Octavian Rasnita]

Does anyone have some voxin samples?

I couldn't find voice samples on that site...

I just remember that IBM Via Voice was very similar to an older version of 
Eloquence, but I don't know how good sounds voxin now.

Thanks.
