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

Hi Mohammad,

Slint do not provide as many packages as Debian or derivatives but that
shouldn't be an impediment, here is why.

1. A complete toolchain is already included in the installed system and all
packages include the related development files: shared libraries and headers.
2. In addition, as indicated in the book (search "Get additional applications") 
packages can be very easily built and installed from the building stuff
provided by volunteers @ https://slackbuilds.org. In the "development" category 
there are 637 entries at time of writing, some already included in Slint.
This is somehow similar to the AUR for Arch or the PPA from Ubuntu that you may 
have heard about.

To know more free to visit one of our support channel indicated in the book,
like the instant messaging  channel #slint @ irc.libera.com

Whichever distribution you settle with, welcome to Linux!

Cheers,
Didier

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

    Hi Mohammad,

    the Slint distribution that I maintain has no issue with Mate and Orca.
    Its installer is fully accessible as the installed system.

    I send you the Slint Handbook (not yet released but already usable)
    privately as
    it's probably too big as an attachment for this list.

    You can read it in any web browser as it is in html format.

    Cheers,
    Didier
