I have an eee_pc and am running Ubuntu on it. It comes with Zandrows which I would not bother to try and get accessible. I am mainly using speakup, but also have Orca running on it. As long as the braille display connects through USB I do not see why brltty would not work. Yes, one has to tweak things a bit to work, but it can work. I am using a normal usb keyboard with my eee as I struggle with its built-in keyboard. HTH, Willem On Thu, 16 Apr 2009, Alastair Irving wrote: > Hi All > > I'm considering purchasing a netbook.
