I tried latest mate and cinamon versions of linux mint and wasn't able 
to get orca to do some talking.
i guess they don't ship orca with the live cd.
so a hard time to do something there.

I hope they might change that. once i read somewhere that linux mint 
should be accessible. but i am unsure if this still is true or if this 
was the case.
