So, as other people already asked, if it is really similar to Vinux, why
not Vinux? Anyway ...

... I mostly agree with Jason. In general I don't like too much the idea
of specific accessibility distributions, as ideally major distributions
should be accessible. I know that this is hard, and sometimes you
require some specific distribution, but that should be the lesser evil,
and temporal. Custom distributions tends to fade out with time (ie:
tiflolinux) , and the effort used for one or two releases could be used
to improve an existing distribution. However, this is just my opinion.
