Re: [orca-list] Sonar 12.10 is out

[Peter VÃgner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
Heh I am looking to the same direction. I think this is what you might 
be looking for: 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_for_the_blind

I need to learn about their packaging to see if there are some 
functional differences comparing to how debian based distros do this, 
then I need to see if pulseaudio is used with the desktop as in text 
mode I think alsa is used directly.
Of course these are all off topic questions for this list so I am going 
to try some searching first.


Greetings

Peter
