Re: [orca-list] usb distors

Trisquel 5.5 GNU/Linux.  Be sure to download the I18N DVD Edition.  It 
will come up talking with Orca, right from startup.  You'll have a 
fully-functional live session to try for demo purposes.  When ready, you 
can go ahead and install.

Ubuntu 12.04 can be started with Orca.  Just grab the desktop image of 
your choice, burn to flash drive, start the system, and, when you hear 
bongo drums, hit 'ctrls' for an accessible live session.

Another you can try is Vinux.  This is a distribution, based on Ubuntu, 
that is optimized for accessibility with speech, braille, and/or 
magnification.

For all of the above, there are bootable '.iso' cd/dvd images.  You can 
write them to a pen drive with the 'dd' command; I've used the command:

"sudo dd if=/home/dave/Downloads/foobar.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M", where 
'foobar.iso' is the image file.



HTH,



Dave
