I thought from my digging that gnome, the GUI itself, included orca as a part of itself. However I had heard that ubuntu was one of the more accessible. I don't use linux though, tried it briefly but didn't get on with it.

There is a Linux distribution based of Ubuntu called Vinux, formerly known as Vibuntu. It's Ubuntu re-mastered for the blind . You can download it here:
http://vinux.org.uk/

The Alpha version is based on Debian, while the Latest release is based off of Ubuntu.

You may consider using a VM (Virtual Machine) if you don't want to use the live cd or re-format your hard drive using ext3. A good VM program is VirtualBox: www.virtualbox.org
