Ubuntu is a Debian Derivative, and while I haven't used it myself for nearly a decade(I switched to vanilla Debian somewhere around 2010 or 2011, and have used Knoppix(another Debian derivative) as my day-to-day OS since late 2012, it is my understanding that Ubuntu often has some of the most divisive customizations in its default setup compared to other distros in the Debian family. That said, I really can't offer much advice on using Orca as I essentially have no experience using it with a full Desktop Environment or with applications other than Firefox, and I keep Orca around solely because, in my opinion at least, Firefox+Orca provides a better blind web experience than any text-mode web browser, which is a real shame considering I can do everything else on a computer from the command line. I'd say give Knoppix a try, but when they stopped releasing a CD version, they also stopped releasing official images that boot into Adriane(Knoppix's blind accessibility suite) by default, and while you only need to change one line of one text file within the .iso to make Adriane the default boot option, the only means I know of for doing this requires mounting the iso, copying the contents to a writable folder, making the edit, and then building a new iso. And while I'm willing to share the iso where I've already done this, its way too large for any practical means of sharing files I know of. And while Knoppix is great as a liveDVD, it does leave quite a bit to be desired when installed to a hard disc. -- Sincerely, Jeffery Wright Bachelor of Computer Science President Emeritus, Nu Nu Chapter, Phi Theta Kappa. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
