It would be getting them installed without sighted help that gets to be the
problem. Ubuntu is the only distro I know of that can do software speech
right at install. I would say that CentOS will probably require sight.

Subject: Re: installing linux
There's also Sun's Virtual Box which is free for personal use
http://www.virtualbox.org/
I haven't played with it since I got VMWare. Nice thing about virtual
machines is the ease of pausing and resuming. So I can be doing Mac stuff,
fire up my VM and do some Windows testing and then pause/quit. Windows
just becomes another app I launch and quit as needed. I assume Linux
instances within a VM would work the same way.
