A little more about (MicroKnoppix) Knoppix 6.0 Adriane v1.1:

One important feature of Knoppix 6.0 Adriane is the screen reader (orca), which makes this Linux version super user friendly for the visually impaired. The screen reader is with you from the moment the system starts. In addition, Knoppix 6 utilizes a custom menu to allow you to start only what you want without running a full X session. For example, you can launch just the email client or web browser instead of loading the entire desktop. This time around, Knoppix 6.0 incorporates the lightweight LXDE desktop making it functional on low end machines as well.
