Re: accessible distros

[Thomas Ward <tward1978 earthlink net>]

Hi, Cody.
Well, I'm quite happy with Ubuntu 6.06 at the moment.  It's desktop cd 
comes with most of the apps you want out of the box such as gaim, 
evolution, firefox, gedit, etc. It is fairly accessible, and I have been 
using it for a couple of days now, and I can't complain to much about 
Ubuntu 6.06 other than some crashes that I don't understand why they happen.
The only thing you will probably want to do extra is use apt-get to grab 
build-essentials, gnome-devel, python-dev, and a few other development 
things.
