True, and as I said in my message, Vinux is based on Ubuntu 12.04, and
Vinux uses the Unity 2D desktop. Unity 2D was specifically designed to
be used on older hardware that didn't support 3D graphics cards. Unity
2D stopped being supported by Canonical after Ubuntu 12.04, so
subsequent versions of Ubuntu use Unity, also referred to as Unity 3D.
Although I'm sure this will work on a netbook, I'm not sure it will
perform as well, since I'd think it would use more system resources.

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.

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.

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.
