Re: [orca-list] Orca and Arch again

[Bill Cox <waywardgeek gmail com>]

If you switch to Ubuntu Lucid or Vinux 3.0 rather than Debian, I think
you'll find more people who have run into the problems you run into,
with more suggestions on fixes.  The more power-users we can get using
a similar platform, the easier it all gets.  That said, I'm hearing
good things about Arch, so if you can help them get past critical bugs
that would be great.
