Thank you very much, Nigel. I indeed checked this and I'm willing to try and for sure will be glad to share my experience with the list. However, one question I have is, if I install the gui environment may I still have access to the text-based Linuxx? This may sound a basic question, but since I'm not aware of the "look and feel" of the gui environment in Linux, I ask this. Besides, I have to keep on working on my project and not mess things just for the adventure of experience. Another question: If I have the Baum vario 40 braile display, then as I understand I can use Gnopernicus without the brltty. Am I correct? Thanks, Rafi.
