Re: [orca-list] [ubuntu] updated a11y page

I don't think Luke was saying that the instructions should refer to
Precise because of older hardware or the lack of 3d support, I think he
was saying this because Unity 2D is more accessible right now than Unity 3D.

Also, I'm not sure if this is what you meant or not, but there's nothing
wrong with an LTS release. The reason Ubuntu has LTS releases is for
those corporate customers and those production environments where
systems will be installed to a known stable release and not updated
frequently to keep down upgrade costs and instability. This has nothing
to do with accessibility.
