Re: [orca-list] Trisquel



Hi Krishnakant,

When I checked the beta it was using Gnome 3.2 and Orca 3.2.1 I
believe. However, Gnome 3.2 was setup to boot in fallback mode so it
had a Gnome 2.x look and feel. As Dave says it is quite accessible,
but I prefer Ubuntu as I have access to newer packages etc faster.

Cheers!

Huh, Ubuntu 11.10?

Which version of gnome 3 and Orca comes with it?
Happy hacking.

Trisquel is a desktop Linux distribution, for use in homes, small
enterprises, and educational settings, containing only free software,
and has the endorsement of the Free Software Foundation.  It is based
on Ubuntu 11.10, but with Unity, Ubuntu1, Software Center, Ubuntu
branding, and support for proprietary firmware and applications
removed, leaving a performant, stable, and reliable classic Gnome 3
experience.  I run Trisquel on an Asus netbook, very well.  Please
visit http://trisquel.info to download the system and learn more.  If
you boot the I18N DVD edition, orca will come up talking at system
start.  Once the system is live-booted, you have a fully-functional
Trisquel environment, from which you can test it for compatibility
with your hardware, run the included apps, install the system to your
hard drive or a virtual machine, and more.



Cheers,



Dave

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.
