talking linux for PPC (G3 Lombard)

[Steve Holmes]

I know Arch Linux has a talking bootable CD available but that would
be for Entel processors so I dunno if it could be made to work on a
Powerbook G3.

Once you do have a working Linux system going on whatever machine, you
can start up gnome and use Orca and that is all keyboard accessible.

I might need some help from the plug list on this. otherwise, I have a paperweight for a portable that won't work with a later version of OS X.
