Re: [orca-list] [VINUX] autolog in?

[Josh Kennedy <jkenn337 gmail com>]

Hi
I would like to use vmware if possible if its gtk based. I think it is very good. and I don't know if virtual 
box or qemu has the easy install feature like vmware does. maybe someone can comment more on vmware in 
ubuntu/vinux in regards to how it works with orca and yasr and speakup.
