Re: [orca-list] Accessible linux system for a MacOS user

[John G Heim <jheim math wisc edu>]

While neither Debian or Ubuntu have the absolutely latest version of 
orca, they both have excellent accessibility. I don't know where you are 
getting your advice, but avoiding Debian and Ubuntu would kind of be the 
opposite of what I would recommend for a Linux beginner.

You can always update your version of orca after you have installed 
Linux and after you get comfortable with it. Getting started is the hard 
part and I recommend Ubuntu for that.
