An alternative would be to start with a basic Debian installation, then add just the packages you want. If you can do most of what you need entirely from the Linux console (without running a graphical desktop environment), this will reduce resource consumption considerably. You could then start up GNOME and Orca only when you have to run a graphical Web browser or some other desktop application. In Linux, you can get a lot of work done without a graphical user interface. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
