Re: [orca-list] Do many users exclusively use Linux?



I don't currently on my Gnome system, for the moment, as it is a laptop I 
use disconnected often, and I can't get the bloody BCM43xx wireless to 
actually connect to anything, even though it sees plenty of networks.

However on my other command line based systems I usually use alpine or 
even pine on one of them (sorry to those to whom that is an 
expletive--it's what I learned on under Sun/BSD systems, and I just never 
liked mutt).

That depends utterly and completely upon what you do with your system,
and 
how comfortable you are with various things.

For me, it is a total windows replacement (haven't used windows on my 
personal machines since Win 3.11!:)), but I am a command line guy from 
wayback, so learning how to do things the non-graphical way is not a new

thing for me.
I am still not doing a great many things under Gnome with Orca, but I am

relatively new to Orca, so this will probably change.  I use Orca's 
console access via gnome-terminal to do many things, but I have been 
doing text editing, limited web browsing with Firefox, and similar small

scale information retrieval type things with Gnome.
Everything else I am still doing from the command line.

That works for me, but it may not for you, again depending on what you 
have to do on a daily basis.

I have Windows experience (98, and the XP flavors), from having to 
administer it for clients, so this is not a foreign environment for me,
I 
just prefer text based tools from bash, which is a field where I am much

more comfortable.  (and quick.)

Just my $0.02.

Hi folks, well the subject says it all. I know that  there has been a 
great deal of work done on Orca and it is continually being improved, 
but is Linux a usable daily system? Or is it best to still keep Win on

my machine?

Best wishes
