Ubuntu, which Vinux is based on, will recognize and work with a NTFS
file system and external hard drives. You'll want to put it on it's own
partition, running something like EXT4, but you'll be able to get to
your other partitions, including NTFS, and you won't have any problems
working with external hard drives, USB sticks and so on.
Although I agree the Cloud won't replace local storage any time soon, I
don't agree that we'll end up regretting putting data in Clouds.

Thanks for this, will have to go this way soon when XP finally falls off the

How destructive of existing file system is it? my file data set is the all
important, amazing how many Os now don't seem to take that so seriously now.
And we can't and imho, shouldn't put all our stuff in clouds, we'll get to
regret it,eventually.
How easy/difficult is it to have multiple hdds or attach external usb ones?
I've had at least 2 since DOS days.
Thanks, RobH.

Subject: Re: Netbook Oriented Linux Distributions Accessibility
there are 2 that are easily accessible for the blind.
1. Vinux (www.binuxproject.org)
2. Ubuntu
Vinux comes up with a screen reader right from the install disk. Ubuntu just
needs a creel-s to start up speech after booting. I use Ubuntu 13.04 here
(mostly for my ham radio stuff). I also have a mac (which I am typing this
email on) and a windows laptop (windows 7, UGH!).
hope this info helps.

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.
