If anyone is interested in checking out accessibility on any flavor of linux, download the packages list and use grep on it to search for accessibility packages. None found distro isn't interested in trying. If any found, maybe the distro got the installation correct so that one may be worth a download and check out. As of now, my computer is in process of going south fast. Two bad hard drives and I expect those happen because of a bad hard drive controler. So minimal accessibility testing for me until I come up with a computer with correctly operating disk drives. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and amo.
