I'm a bit confused by your message. You say that Vinux is lacking a lot

I think we should work to make popular distributions accessible, and I
think that's still the goal of the Vinux team, but I still think it
makes sense to have custom distributions for the blind. It'll take time
and resources to get changes pushed up stream and blind new comers to
Linux, or even

Does this include any machines running a Debian based Linux? It used to
be the case that Chromium didn't have NACL support in the Debian
distributions, so you couldn't get ChromeVox to work. This wasn't true
in Chrome though, which you could use in Debian based distributions.
