Re: [orca-list] Considering Linux but Need Advice

[chrys87 <chrys87 web de>]

Hi Lee,

i would recommend you sonar, talkingarch or every other arch based 
distribution.
there are a few simple reasons (just in view of accessibilty):
1. its really near to the mainstream (nothing is patched until its unusable)
2. it very (very very) current and you always get the latest stuff. i 
see in case of accessibility the things a steadily improve. the more 
current then better.
3. there a real active IRC channel in talkingarch :).

http://sonargnulinux.com/
https://www.archlinux.org/
http://talkingarch.tk/

the "master" is a term in software development. it describes the most 
recent development repository snapshot. its more current then the latest 
stable version. for example here is the current orca master :)
https://git.gnome.org/browse/orca/
but i also recommend you to use the stable releases until you are more 
experienced.

cheers chrys
