Hi Anders:

A fair amount has happened since 2000. The GNOME desktop has built in a lot of good accessibility infrastructure, and the Orca screen reader (http://live.gnome.org/Orca) is gaining a fair amount of momentum. In addition, Linux distributions seem to be taking usability and accessibility more seriously. Ubuntu, for example, has an accessible installation process.

Hope this helps,

Will

Hello!
Sounds great.
Now it was nearly 7 years i was an active linux user.
But i really do want to begin with it again.
7 years ago i used debian but now i dont remember the version.
I understand that there has been many things happening since 2000.
Is it something to think about when or if i want to install debian?
I mean as a blind user.
I was using the console, no graphics and i do hope i can use the console in this version?
In the year 2000 i also used brltty.
I havent followed the linux development that much the last seven years so i hop you forgive me for my dum questions.
ANy help is appreciated.
/Anders.
