hi Once you've downloaded ubuntu mate, all that's needed to get accessibility going is to press alt+win+s. I *think* once this is done the login screen talks automatically, but in case it doesn't, press f4 at the login screen once the install is finished. I'd recommend the lts instead of 15.10, mainly because it's supported for much longer, and has the accessibility ppa preconfigured, which means as soon as a new orca and accessibility stack is released, you'll shortly get updates for them. Completely agree about linux accessibility people benefitting each other, I'm a sonar developer, but I'm also a linux user who depends on accessibility,and I recommend other distros, such as vinux, ubuntu, fedora and others, not just my own. Thanks Kendell Clark
