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

[Bill Dengler <billkd314159 gmail com>]

OK here's a link to the wiki page
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility
changes :
added section about low resource systems
added an alternate interface for unity to launch and switch to apps.
rewrote vinux note to explain that the reason vinux was created was
because of old revisions of ubuntu and orca. I didn't mean to bash vinux
or anything ; just stating that we didn't need it anymore so that new
users understand we can use an ubuntu CD and they don't have to use
vinux if they don't want to.
I will go look and see if I can find a raring solution to the low
resource systems section. When I do I will update the page accordingly.
