-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Be aware though that debian 4.0 etch doesn't come with orca, and that it doesn't have a version of gnome new enough to run orca on. If you want to try out orca today under debian, and don't want to have to compile gnome from source, you'll need to switch to debian unstable sid, according to the conversation Kenny and I have had on here last week or so.
