London Borough of Lambeth: our disclaimer is at the end of this e-mail. *********************************************************************************** Dear All I'm working on a local community project in conjunction with a specialist IT and Internet training charity U CAN DO I.T, who provide low cost training to individuals with visual impairments, hard of hearing or who are physically disabled. Our role here at REALISE I.T is to provide refurbished PC's free of charge to these individuals within our project area (four London borough's) U CAN DO I.T trainers currently work with JAWS; Hal; Windows Eyes and Super Nova. I'm investigating Open Source software as an alternative to Microsoft to lower the software costs to these individuals. As far as I know the above software is not compatible with Linux. I was hoping that someone might be able to give me their opinions of open source alternatives - preferably compatible with Linux? What is out there and how do you rate it? It would be really helpful to get any advice. I look forward to hearing all your opinions shortly Kind regards Jo Foster REALISE Community Project Officer REALISE IT Network 4th Floor, Blue Star House 234 Stockwell Road London SW9 9SP Tel: 020 7926 6232 Fax: 020 7926 6201 ********************************************************************** London Borough of Lambeth.
