Re: [orca-list] Podcasts and/or audio tutorials needed

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
I think most up to date and most detailed podcast on how to use linux 
with orca is a podcast made about a year ago by Simon Eigeldinger.
Simon showcases lightweight stable distribution of linux called paldo 
with gnome 3.12. At that time that was the most stable version of gnome.

Orca is working great with all other distributions in a siilar way so 
for anyone wishing to take a look at basic overview of how accessible 
graphical linux desktop is working might find this usefull.
This is a link to the podcast:

Greetings

Peter
