Re: [orca-list] orca & ubuntu 8.10 beta,

[Jon <j orcauser googlemail com>]

Hi Leonard,

Sorry i havent ever tried the server edition, but if i remember 
correctly, brltty should automatically detect the braille display (or 
if it does not, then you can give boot options to get it to start)
I dont think any graphical interface is installed on a server (just 
guessing) so it follows that Gnome and Orca would not be provided by 
default.

I have CCed the list, in the hope that someone who has tried the server 
edition will write about actual experiences.

Best

-Jon
