Re: [orca-list] Fwd: Re: check this out, why *not* another endeavor

When Vinux came onto the scene, some folks complained and said the right
course was to make existing distros better.  Now a new guy comes along, and
people are saying he should instead have contributed to Vinux.  Well, it
certainly makes sense both to work on making the more general distros better
and helping improve Vinux, but I'd think the world of Linux would be among
the last places where we'd complain about folks doing their own things.
Some of those separate efforts, if good enough, might indeed result in
software integrated into Vinux or mainstream distros in the future.

+1 from me,
I am sure such a merger could have only strengthened the work of Vinux.
Indeed in FOSS every one gets credit for their work so that also wasn't an
issue.
I wonder why this keeps happening, first the isolated attempt by an
oranization called CDAC in India which is of no practical use IMHO, and now
this one.
Happy hacking.

Secondly Jonathan, are you sure they aren't going to begiving the 
users the choice by including it in the log on options? Some 
individuals don't want to move forward, that's true, but others are 
ready and willing to embrace the changes in Unity 2D.

And again, now that I see the obvious difference that was originally 
posted, of you not including Unity 2D, what makes this one any better?
It just seems like reinventing the wheel for no other reason other to 
say I reinvented the wheel.

I too wish they'd joined the Vinux development effort. I can't imagine 
the Vinux team wouldn't have been willing to include someone willing 
to work on offering Gnome Shell and Gnome Classic along side Unity 2D.

Jason.

The difference between the two are Vinux offers their distro using 
Unity-2d and Sonar is Gnome-classic and Gnome-shell. Of which Vinux 
doesn't offer.

Hello, Jason.

I am forwarding your message (below) to the Orca List so that you 
may get a better answer. I have not gotten to try Sonar out just yet.

Take care.

Hello,

So what are the differences between this, and Vinux? What makes 
this any better, oo more usable?

Very nice! I will check this out.

I have a friend who is an Assistive Technology Instructor here 
locally, and he has taken interest whenever I talk with him about 
GNU/Linux. This may be a great distribution for him to try out! I 
am going to take a look at this when I get a chance.

Thanks, Jonathan!

I don't know of anything but with the classic gnome version of 
Sonar The top panel with the shutdown and networking along with 
the other things is 100% accessible.

Has anyone seen any improvements to the accessible experience of 
regular Unity in 12.10 alpha?  Ubuntu ought to have some sort of 
menu in their installer that lets you pick the desktop 
environment you want to install. This way, people could still 
choose gnome classic and have an accessible installer while they 
work the bugs out of Unity.

I will be trying this out shortly, if not right away, as soon 
as I can get my main box rebuilt. This could be exactly what 
I'm looking for to recommend to people who are just getting 
started with Linux and need something that just works(tm). I 
especially like the fact that there is a working choice between 
GNOME classic and gnome-shell, and both come up talking out of 
the box. This will be especially important for Ubuntu 12.10, 
since they have already dropped Unity2d from their alpha repos. 
The question then would be do you plan to coordinate with all 
Ubuntu releases, or will you be focusing on coordinating with 
LTS releases? Thanks very much for the great work.
