Re: [orca-list] Orca and Arch again

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Bill, I know why you say what you do, but might this lead to only one 
accessible distro? IE. All bugs on one distro get fixed but others are a 
bit left behind.

I would possibly say problems may be easier to find on something such as 
ubuntu as variations are less, Arch gives so much freedom to configure 
it how you want, and so possibly trying to work out a given users 
configuration and match it is harder.

With the flexibility of Arch I would say yes the user may have greater 
need to know/understand what they are doing and that's why I can 
appreciate what you were saying.
