Hey hey Kare,
not having followed the thread completely, I'd like to say this: I use Debian 
Squeeze and it works. There are enough commandline tools. ArchLinux seems to 
offer an even better commandline structure in some ways. I'm not sure about 
Nama and Midish for ArchLinux, I know, that there is a Nama package for 
Debian. In any case, you'd need to update this manually to the most recent 
version to have some real fun.

I'm not sure about lowlatency kernels for Debian and Arch. But I think, you 
can get a lowlatency kernel from Ubuntu for Debian, though it might be a 
little awkward. I'm usng a standard kernel and the latency is quite OK.

Which hardware synth do you use for speec? If it was supported by Linux, it 
usually still is, they rarely throw stuff away. :) Support would either be 
directly in the kernel or in BRLTTY, the braille driver. It not only supports 
braille displays, but also speech hard- and software.

Espeak, the free Linux speech synth, is not very pleasant, but usable.
