Actually...someone else started a synthesizer discussion, some effort to
recruit my help doing things that have nothing whatsoever to do with how I
use a computer.
I do not have a Linux box at all yet, No talent in Toronto so far for
the help....which is why there is a Linux audio distribution discussion
happening on the gTA Lug list right now, so I can choose from an informed
position. Regardless, based on what I do with my main computer, the box
will be firmly run via ssh TELNET.
No thoughts between those specific professional audio distributions?
If they are interchangeable, then I may seek out avlinux since my
understanding is it is Debian based.
I wanted to keep squeeze because I have a full set of discs for it, but
the Latency discussion has me wondering since low latency Kernels are a
must, at least for me, where the pro audio work is concerned.

what I am asking is which distros among the sort

the command line?
Or, does one just run a keyboard command like Lyn <I think > provided?
Yes, all distros provide it by a keyboard shortcut as mentioned by Len.
They are provided by the function keys and they are not necessarily the
same by default, nowadays they are usually Ctrl+Alt+F1 to Ctrl+Alt+F6
and to get back the window manager Ctrl+Alt+F7.
Since you mentioned the speech synth I assume you're visually impaired.
For those using GUI's, I recommend to install a terminal emulation named
roxterm, there is no better terminal emulation available.
I use an openbox shortcut to open roxterm and once it's running the
same shortcut to open roxterm tabs, on Arch Linux and Ubuntu.
The login shell most likely is bash, so the command line behaves in the
bash style and the settings are in your home [1].
Globbing (the way wildcards work), basic commands (bashisms) are the
same for all distros.
