Re: [orca-list] changing default desktop?

You can still use Ubuntu. As has been said here, Gnone 2 still ships
with Ubuntu 11.04. It won't ship with 11.10, but I believe you'll still
be able to install it. There's also work to ensure Unity is accessible.
I haven't used it myself, but I know other blind people have taken it
for a spin.
