Vinux has a cli version available and that cli version can at a later date be turned into a gui version. If you download and can get the cli version talking there's not much to do to get yourself a gui version by installing a few files rather than pulling down an entirely new distribution. When I want to do that, I run tasksel and check desktop environment with the space bar; that puts a star to the left of desktop environment and hitting space bar again removes the star from the left of desktop environment. I also put a star to the left of data base, then I tab to ok and hit enter and let the system install what it needs. Then as root, I run orca -t in text mode and configure orca don't worry about python error messages. I do the same orca -t command in my user account then I reboot the system. If I want to do command line when all is silent after speech has started up I hit control-alt-f1 and then hit enter. If not I key in my user name and hit enter and key in my password and hit enter and I go into gui environment with orca already talking.On Sun, 6 Jun 2010, Leslie Fairall wrote:

Ok, a few more questions:

1. Does Ubuntu require sighted help to install or is there a way to install it with Brltty? 2. Should I go with Ubuntu or explore Vinux, which I believe is an off-shoot of Ubuntu?

Thanks for any advice.
