Is orca useful? I mainly ask that because I like keeping my system clean of things that aren't very useful, and gnome, X and all the GUI stuff wasn't useful as I could never get going with gnopernicus. for anything except its own control panel. Suppose I mean is there things I can do with gnome and orca that I can't do with speakup in a text console.
