Hi. I repeat that I am on the lookout of a distro that is completely accessible and uses minimal system resources but not compromosing on any advanced features. According to my Google Search here are some wonderful lightweight Linux distros. I request to share your views about their accessibility: Puppy Linux Schubuntu Bodhi Linux Lubuntu CrunchBang I openly wlecome other accessible and lightweight distros as well. I would appreciate any assistance.
