| Hi all I am looking into orca and linux for the first time. I am a student at UC Berkeley and much of my computing history consists of windows. Within the last year, I changed over to mac OS X with voiceover and am now looking at a summer project that does not inclued windows. My first question is as follows. I want to run ubuntu linux on my macbook pro using a virtual computer with VMWare Fusion. I have no idea what I am doing or the problems that i will encounter and any help in installing/ using orca that I should know please feel free to mention it. The probleme that I have forseen at this point is with my keyboard. I was looking at commands like alt f2, and insert enter. My apple keyboard does not have an insert or alt key. I used windows with it and had jaws key set to caps lock, and the alt key is the option key (where the windows key would be if this were not a mac.) Does anyone have some help they could offer on this? Is anyone in a similar situation? Thanks and I look forward to hopefully entering the world of linux Justin Harford "A man's memory is bound to be a distortion of his past in accordance with his present interests, and the most faithful autobiography is likely to mirror less what a man was than what he has become." |
