Tired of Microsoft Windows and paying thousands for screen-readers? try out NVDA for Windows, or try out and switch to grml, Ubuntu, Vinux, or knoppix-adriane Linux desktops. Knoppix ubuntu and vinux-cli-max are the most accessible for beginners.

Hello,
 
I am glad you have it! I hope you like knoppix-adriane. as a Linux newbie and a recent Linux in a virtual machine user I am beginning to appreciate each Linux distribution for its strengths not its weaknesses. for what one distro lacks, there is another Linux distro that has what the other lacks.

hi,
 
Ok so many of you are really wanting to try a Linux distro that has LXDE, right? well here you go.
 
 
they also have a version with de instead of en which means the user interface is in the German language. so for german just replace "en" with "de" in the website link. knoppix-adriane is based on the latest debian lenny but remember its Linux so you can get its sorce, update it with squeeze do whatever you want with it.
 
I highly recommend you guys use the nightly builds of espeak from:
 
 
then we can take advantage of the klatt voices which make espeak sound a whole lot better!

Hi,
 
You get it to work with orca by either installing it, or better yet, download a Linux distribution that includes LXDE with orca. The only distro i know of that has it is knoppix-adriane.. by default knoppix-adriane comes up in a text consle mode with a menu you navigate with the arrow keys. and knoppix adriane is the only one that has a scanning and OCR software. so anyway to start lxdeyou just arrow down to start graphical interface and it enter and it will start up. orca will start automatically. the version of orca is 2.2.28 latest one. it has openoffice, firefox and others in there.
advantages of using LXDE.
*gnome requires 384mb of ram 512mb recommended to run.
*lxde needs only 64mb 128mb recommended.
*lxde is much much more responsive and boots perhaps 4 times faster than gnome does.
*knoppix-adriane is based on debian.
*vinux uses an older version of gnome from a few years ago. I personally like to keep my software up-to-date.
*tony sales maker of vinux says he wants blind people to learn the shell or console or command line whatever you want to call it so if using vinux best to get the cli-max version in my opinion.
*if you are new to Linux if you got the ram memory go with ubuntu, if not give knoppix-adriane a try!

Hi,
 
Lxde works very good with orca. its written  with gtk+ like gnome. but lxde runs very good in only 128mb of ram.
