[orca-list] Resp.: Admin Features for Slackware Users

["Marlon Brandão de Sousa" <splyt lists gmail com>]

Hello,
Accordingly with what I read it seen that slackware doesn't support
gnome natively .. Well slackware is the distro I like more so I
apreciate if you tell nme what you did to use gnome and orca with this
distro.
