Re: [orca-list] installing linux on the mac

[michael weaver <weavermicha googlemail com>]

if it were not so technical i would use ubuntu on the mac for 
things like mail because i hate the way mailboxes seem to get 
duplicated in lion, causing mail to vanish from mail boxes and 
for recording dvds which can be played on a standard dvd player 
using devede as i have yet to find some equivalent for the mac 
and use mac osx for things like skype as skype is or maybe was 
difficult to set up in ubuntu without sighted assistance unless 
someone can now tell me if the latest ubuntu version 12 allows 
this to be done with a little more ease.
