Hi, I am Bernard Condorcet and live in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
I work in the technical support area of a Brazilian system (DOSVOX)
in a federal university. In fact, the DOSVOX is a computational
environment for blind users, and not a screen reader for WINDOWS.
Our wish is to make our users use Linux too. For this, I would like
to know how I could get a version to download.
I ask: Is there a version that enable a blind person use in graphic
environment for Linux ?
Is a my first message to the list and my english isn't very good, sorry.
I thank the collaboration. Bernard Condorcet.

you can download slackware linux 8.0 from the following url:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/isos/
three files install.iso, source.iso and extra.iso. install.iso is an image
of the installation cd that comes with the slackware package if you were
to have bought the cd set from cdrom.com. slackware does come with
x-windows, but if you are blind, you will not be able to use it unless you
have partial site enough to use ms-windows. 8.0 is the current version of
slackware and supports the 2.2.19 and 2.4 series kernels. I hope you have
a cd burner. if not you will have to download in pieces. unless you have a
dsl or t1 line, this will take forever. even to download the .iso files
over a phone line will take about 12 hours maybe more, but, there are only
three big files. really you only need install.iso to get linux up and
running. hope this helps.

Hi
No we don't have access to the Graphical User Interface GUI under Linux but
we are waiting for Gnome V2 which will provide some accessibility.
On the Speakup site, there boot up disks that enable us to install Linux for
3 distributions but I think that they are all in English. I'd suggest that
you visit the distribution links below to be sure that they meet your
language needs.
Do you or your students have access to Braille refreshable displays? Do you
or your students have access to hard ware synthesisers?
Perhaps someone could advise you on Emacspeak as I know very little about
its language support.
The Speakup site is where you'll find speech enabled kernels for Debian,
Redhat and Slackware:
www.linux-speakup.org
To read about the Debian distribution:
www.debian.org
To read about the Redhat distribution:
www.redhat.com
To read about the Slackware distribution:
www.slackware.com
I hope that this helps.
Gena

How hard is it to get speakup working on something like mandrake or suse? I
heard they're pretty good distros, at least suse, currently on redhat, but
it'd be fun to play around a bit if I get a hold of broadband.
