Re: [orca-list] Dual booting Linux besides windows questions

Hi Didier,

Thanks a lot for the info and the book! I went over it and I was very impressed with the great attention to accessibility! For me this is so delightful to see such a care given to accessibility, hopefully others will follow this way some day. I will consider this option definitely, although I prefer a distro with a popular packages repo. If yours is such a one, I will be happy for a correction. My purpose is to use Linux for software development, windows of course can do this, but the experience on Linux is much more interesting.

Regards,

Mohammad
