Hmmmm.... I have never heard of this distribution so it must have been a 
short term project. Certainly it doesn't sound like it was well known.

Well, if the project is now dead that is probably a good reason the 
download mirrors are drying up.

Well, if the last version was last December than it's accessibility 
isn't going to be the same as you could get with Fedora Core 5 or 
Ubuntu. Both Fedora and Ubuntu have gnome 2.14 as well as Orca 0.2x 
packages which are up to date and seam to work well accessibility wize 
out of the box.
Even if it was using Gnome it is likely running Gnome 2.10 or Gnome 2.12 
tops. Better to go to a stable more known distribution.
Smile.
