Re: [orca-list] Advice from blind Linux users

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

Unity; gnome, or mate and cinnamon are possibilities depending on the 
memory footprint and hard drive space available on a particular machine.
  Mate and cinnamon are good for minimal spaces gnome is a hog in memory 
and disk space.  I don't know where unity lands on the spectrum though. 
More work for accessibility needs doing to get mint cinnamon accessible.
