ONe document that I would recommend reading is the Gnome Accessibility Guide, particularly the section devoted to keyboard interaction. The table of contents is here: http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-access-guide/stable/ To learn the shell and basic utilities, I would recommend this book (available as a PDF file, which can easily be converted to text if you have access needs): http://www.linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php And an out of date but still useful source: http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz O'Reilly Media have published a variety of excellent books, many of which are available to people with print disabilities with the permission of the publisher. See http://www.bookshare.org/ As starting points I would recommend UNIX Power Tools, 3rd ed., and Essential System Administration, 3rd ed. The former is not an introductory text, but it's extremely useful once you've learned the basics. The latter is the best book on system administration that I have found in an accessible format. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
