Re: [orca-list] Manjaro, Fedora and virtual mashine managers

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

You might want to try Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity 2D. I don't have the 
problems you mentioned with Nautilus. If I open up Nautilus from the 
Launcher multiple times, I can multiple instances of Nautilus, and I can 
alt+tab between those instances. You might also try using alt+tilda to 
jump between applications in the same group or control+tab to jump 
between tabs in the same application.

You could also run Gnome Shell with Ubuntu, but I don't do this myself, 
so maybe someone else can help with this.

I don't think one particular virtualization application is recommended. 
I use VMware Player, which is free and accessible with Orca. I know 
others prefer Virtual Box. Depending on your system, you should have 
adequate performance to run a virtualized machine. I run Ubuntu 12.04 on 
an I5 processor with 8G of RAM. I run Windows 7, Fedora, and Ubuntu as 
virtual machines on this system.
