Re: [orca-list] Trisquel

["William Gallik" <WFGallik CenturyTel net>]

I'm interested in purchasing a somewhat older PC (probably 18-24 months old) 
and installing Linux exclusively on that computer.  I joined this list so I 
can first get some insights as to issues for blind computer users working on 
a Linux/Orca platform.  As such, I have some questions of curiosity:

1)  What is Trisquel and what is it for? Is it a Linux/Unix application?

2)  When Daniel related that he's using a Mac Mini with VMWare Fusion, I'm 
assuming that this means that a Linux OS is being emulated through the Mac 
native OS (although I understand the Mac OS kernel is in fact Unix). How 
does that work, to get one of the screen readers to function I mean?

I want to migrate to a Linux system because I'm a retired Software Engineer 
from Bell Laboratories and honestly prefer Unix and it's various versions to 
any version of Windows.
