Re: [orca-list] Best distribution for Orca at the moment?

[Darragh Ó Héiligh <d digitaldarragh com>]

Christopher, 
I haven't changed anything.  This is escentially the live CD.  I am attempting to install Ubuntu at this 
point. 
I launched Orca by pressing alt f2 then typing orca. 

Milton, how did you install Ubuntu 16.04?  The installation doesn't seem to be accessible to me at the 
moment? 

My appologies.  I'm out of the game for a while.  I'm sure a lot has changed.  I had expected that at minimum 
I'd be able to boot to a live desktop and hit the installer. 

If there is some documentation I should read, by all means point me in the right direction please. 

Thanks

Vinux is still being developed, and Vinux 5, based on Ubuntu 14.04, was released a while ago. I can't say 
which distribution is best, although I use Vinux and Ubuntu myself.

What have you tried to do to get Orca running on Ubuntu 16.04? Have you tried the hot key sequence 
alt+super+s yet? Also, what desktop are you using, e.g. the default Unity?
