Re: [orca-list] Sonar 12.10 is out



Hi Kyle.
Can you point me to some documentation on how to install arch-linux?
Command interface is not a problem for me, since it talk.
Thanks.

I'm not sure what is going on with Ubuntu 12.10 and its derivatives that
would cause such crashing issues, but at this point, it does appear to
be specific to Ubuntu. Gnome is working extremely well in Arch so far,
and this includes 3.6, with the exception of the dash, and 3.6.2. Having
said this, Arch isn't for everyone, because it takes a knowledge of the
command line to get through the initial installation process. On the
other hand, its package management system and user repository just can't
be beat for simplicity and ease of use, and it even supports packagekit,
which is accessible to Orca, and looks somewhat similar to Synaptic, and
to a lesser degree, the Ubuntu Software Center. The rolling release
schedule of Arch is even a bit ahead of Debian Unstable in some ways, so
it would indeed make a great distro for a bleeding edge out-of-the-box
accessible GNU/Linux experience, with the exception of the installer,
which has no graphical components, and even no curses style interface at
this time, which will still be an issue for newcomers to Linux-based
operating systems, until or unless an accessible graphical installer can
be written. That would, however, require more specialized work, i.e.
writing a graphical installation system completely from scratch, than
something like Sonar or Vinux being based on Ubuntu with the Ubiquity
installer already included and working very well with Orca from the live
media. Having said all this, although I don't feel confident about
writing an entire graphical installer from scratch, I certainly wouldn't
mind making a virtual machine available somewhere that includes an
already installed Arch with GNOME for testing the latest accessibility
features and such, assuming of course that there's enough interest for
something like this. I also don't mind spinning a live Arch derivative
with GNOME installed and a great new installation method, but this would
require both an interest in such a spin and lots and lots of community
participation to get it off the ground and flying.
