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

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

In short to the Vinux question, yes, its has several things done out of the box that you would need to 
configure in standard Ubuntu, and as long as updates are$Unity and gnome are not that different re 
accessibility, at least as long as you stick to the long term support Ubuntu releases which Vinux is built on.
Ubuntu is certainly not the only good distro to use with orca, but is one of the easiest to deal with for 
novices and people with hardware that may not be comp$Manjaro is another distro that tends to do a good job 
of getting everything working with out user intervention to speak of, but I've seen a couple machines 
whe$Vinux and F123 are both easy to install, and other distros including Ubuntu Debian, and at least soetimes 
Fedora are also easy for many new users to install wi$Orca will work well on other distros as well.
Mate is another accessible desktop that many people like alot, both sighted and blind screenreader users.
I think Vinux5 when it is released will be a great entry point for people new to Linux as it will let the 
user switch between gnome, unity and mate so they can$
