Re: [orca-list] talking gdm with orca in fedora

Hi Alex,

Maybe so, but let me just say Red Hat Enterprise uses much older
packages than Fedora. While Fedora is running Gnome 3.4 etc REL is
still rrunning Gnome 2.x and accessibility is still a couple of years
out of date comparatively speaking. However, on the flip side of this
because Red Hat Enterprise uses stable older well tested packages it
is far more stable than something like Ubuntu which  tends to run with
the bleeding edge code and as we can see with 12.04 Precise not all
the bugs were worked out of Precise upon stable release where
enterprise grade Linux distributions tend to hold off on updates in
favor of long term stability. Since Fedora, like Ubuntu tends to be on
the bleeding edge, I'm not sure how it compares to Red Hat Enterprise.

Cheers!
