[orca-list] Only reason I won't fully switch



Not sure if I should a marked this as OT or not. In my opinion, it's totally Orca related, but some may totally disagree. Basically, the only true reason I'm not switching to Ubuntu at this point is mainly for two reasons. One being that I'm really unaware of a lot of good software for Linux aside what comes with the distro. Yeah, I know a few things, but not many. The other huger underlying issue however is: I have an IPod Nano 4th Gen, with the self voicing menus and the whole shebang. I love it! In any rate, being my Mac currently is not connected to the internet, I really don't use it very much. Though I have googled and read a little bit that IPods are actually supported in UBuntu, I'm still a little hesitant to do this, as I want to be sure that using Orca it will be accessible enough for me to do what I need to do to transfer things over to the IPod. I know rhythmbox is supposed to do it, and a few other programs I here will too. Now the other? possibility, even though it's kind of a poor man's aide, would be for me to run Windows in a virtual machine under UBuntu, then install ITunes as well as JAWS10 in that virtual machine. Corse I hear that VMWare's really not Orca friendly. This is why I'm kind a right now debating my options. I will say this though: in very many ways: I'm getting sick of Windows. It would be a good OS if it didn't crash on me so often, but what can I say: that's just the nature of the beast.

Anyway, if any of yall have any ideas, let me know.

Chris.
