Hi,

Thanks, I'll stick with gnome and speed it up a little. I was wondering if I 
could email you off list, as I'm having some problems with the vinux 
creation docs and I think you are the developer of vinux? I can't install 
speakup in debian as I get the message "libespeak-dev" could not be found

thanks,

ash

Hi Ashley, I am glad to hear you are trying top make your own Linux distro. 
I have tried Orca with LXDE on the Adrianne Knoppix distro and it isn't 
accessible because it doesn't use the gtk toolkit. I have tried out most of 
the available desktops and the only one that is usable at all is gnome, the 
only other option is the CLI route with speakup etc. Good luck with your 
distro, I look forward to trying it out.

Hi everybody,

Sorry if this is off topic.

I am building a new linux system, called the LIFE OS (linux is for 
everybody). I did start building a version based on ubuntu, finished it and 
never did anything else with it. I'm building a new one however this time 
based on debian. The main goals of the life OS are accessibility, stability, 
relyability, ease of use for anybody - sighted or blind or disabled in any 
other way, and of course speed! The aim is that anybody can install it no 
matter how old or new there computer is.

I'm trying to choose the desktop. I know orca is designed for gnome, and I 
don't want to use KDE or XFCE. I'm thinking of using LXDE. Has anybody used 
LXDE with orca, Is it accessible? how do I set it up?

Thank you for any help, sorry if this message is a bit long!
