Re: [orca-list] Orca and current best compatible linux distro and desktop

I don't know what will happen in debian 9 (stretch) but right now, you 
can install debian via the debian 8 (jessie) installer with speech and 
get a completely functional graphical interface after the install. The 
install is done via speakup, not orca, in character mode. But if you 
tell it to install the gnome desktop, after the install you will get an 
accessible system right down to a talking login screen. Orca and speakup 
both work which is an improvement even over ubuntu. I have even 
installed debian 8 via a braille display.
