Something else I should have mentioned. There is a ubuntu based distribution that is specifically targeted at blind and vision impaired. It was called vibuntu, but they have changed their name recently (can't remember what the new name is just now). It comes configured with gnome and the Orca screen reader. Nice thing about it is that you can boot from the CD or usb stick and have speech as soon as you login. I initially used it to load a ubuntu system as it allowed me to get up and running without a sighted user helping. It still has some rough edges, but is pretty good. One area with good potential is to have it on a usb stick, which you can carry and boot any system and have a speech enabled setup quickly and relatively painlessly.
I think you're referring to vinux from http://vinux.org.uk/. I heard about it the other day, downloaded the ISO image but haven't had a chance to play with it yet.
