This version of Vinux provides three screen-readers, two full-screen magnifiers, dynamic font-size and colour-theme changing as well as support for USB Braille displays.

Sadly, no, but the problem was mine. I improperly loaded the iso image onto a dvd and came up with shell command instead of a GUI.
Re-tried again a couple of hours ago - works fine.
