Re: Software vs hardware Synthasizers
Hi David,
When I started exploring Linux based options, I faced the same problem as you. Most Linux distros including Debian can only be installed either with a hardware synthesizer, or with the help of a Braille display.
One option that I particularly like is to debootstrap Debian from another distro called GRML.
GRML can be installed using a software synthesizer.
You can get GRML from here.
http://grml.org/download/
Here are the instructions for starting GRML with Speakup and eSpeak.

Check under the heading of "bootoptions".
Finally, here are the instructions on performing debootstrap of Debian.

Don't know if this is too complicated...
