Suse Linux says: (quote) New! SuSE Blinux for Visually Impaired Customers SuSE Linux 7.0 is the first Linux distribution to support installation and applications in Braille. The new screen reader Blinux is a daemon that runs in the background to enable partially sighted and blind users to work comfortably in a Linux environment. This program provides unrestricted use of all applications, allows users to compile their own Linux kernel, and does not compromise system security in any way.
