Have you used the installer where all non-free firmwares are included or
the normal installer? Maybe your hardware would be have been detected if
you had used the non-free installer...

Just make sure Debian supports all of your hardware first. My Acer
Espire E-1574... or 1575... worked on Arch install but not when trying to
install Debian. Also be aware that many packages will probably be versions
out of date of upstream, so missing features and possible fixes. Besides
that it would probably be a good console system.

That's great news! I had seen a comment somewhere about debian no longer
having an accessible install but if it still does, I will definitely go to
that first.

Hi,
I'd still use Debian because IMHO it is the best distro regarding
accessiblity support, easy and uncomplicated installation for a blind
user
with braille and speech, e.g. I am using Debian for more then 20 years
now
and I not missed anything. I am also working in the console most of the
time.

I've been very busy the last few years and have been using the terminal
on
my Mac for a lot of the things I used to do in linux. Now I would like
to
get a laptop for linux again. I mostly want it for command-line use
rather
than for the gui though I suppose I may end up expanding to that at
some
point. I mostly used debian when I was using linux with a few
excursions
into arch. I am totally blind and use speech and braille but the more I
can
use braille, the happier I am. I used thinkpads a lot and also
converted
old Apple machines but I don't have a spare Apple computer right now
and
probably would go for Lenovo. Can somebody tell me which dists are now
the
best for installing linux, especially knowing that I want to use the
command line a lot? If I get a Lenovo with linux on it, am I probably
going
to want to reinstall anyway and how hard is that nowadays? Obviously
this
email is prompted a lot by the thread about getting a laptop for linux.
It
really feels funny writing about th
is
as if I was a complete novice when I used to install and set up
systems
all the time but I guess one has to restart somewhere.
The only problem I had with my Lenovos, and this was after years of
use,
was having the fan quit. Some of this was just the age of the Lenovos
but
it seemed to me that it was becoming harder to know how to set up the
system so the fan worked right where at the beginning of my use of
linux I
never had to pay attention to fan settings. It may of course be that it
was
mostly the age of the laptops - I got years of use out of them - but
I'm
still a bit hesitant because of that.
I know this email covers a lot of territory - I'm basicly thinking out
loud
- so just respond to whatever you know and can address.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Thanks.
