Re: [orca-list] Fwd: Linux questions. With orca.

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

Debian is a fine distro, but will not help you with anything you find missing in ubuntu 14.04 or Vinux5, and 
is going to mostly give you older program 
versions, in some cases that will have less accessibility. 

You can switch between Unity, gnome and Mate using Vinux.
You can define keyboard shortcuts to assist with magnification, but as I am totally blind can not help you 
much.
Go on the Vionux support list and ask, or the vinux irc channel, now on freenode, and ask for help from 
magnifcation users.
I think there are a lot of libreoffice impres accessibilityo shortcomings, and think people mostly use other 
methods for develpoing and displaying their 
presentations.
