if Vinux works, then regular ubuntu with gnome (or unity) with orca will work as well. Basically, that is the same basic DM and screen reader used in Vinux. -eric On May 7, 2014, at 7:08 PM, Christopher Chaltain wrote: > I run Vinux 4 on a netbook. Vinux 4 is based on Ubuntu 12.04, and it uses Unity 2D as a desktop, which is optimized for older hardware. I find it quite usable. I think some light weight desktops are also being made accessible, so you might want to keep an eye on the Sonar project. You can get Vinux from http://vinuxproject.org/ I'm not sure how newer versions of Ubuntu, based on Unity (not Unity 2D) or Gnome, will perform on a netbook. > > On 05/07/2014 08:23 AM, Behave shah wrote: >> Dear all. >> I require information about the accessibility of netbook oriented >> Linux distributions. >> Currently, I use Windows 7 Starter but it is considerably slow. >> Therefore I would like to switch to Linux >> Please tell me if any of you use a Linux distribution for netbooks. >> Thank you very much. >> > > -- > Christopher (CJ) > chaltain at Gmail > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
