Subject: New blind user to Linux
Date: Sat, 13 Jun 1998 13:58:17 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m0ykw9A-000wNiC@megsinet.net> (raw)
Hello,
I am a blind computer user who is tired of being locked into Windows 95 and
MS DOS. I will be starting from scratch however. I have only limited
exposure to a SCO UNIX system when I took a few computer science courses in
college.
I would appretiate any help on getting started from the most basic level...
which version of Linux should I use, and what advise/help can anyone offer
on installing it?
I would also be interested in any feedback on what screen access system I
should use, as well as its installation. I do have a DecTalk Express that
I can use for this since I am currently using software speech on my Windows
95 screen reader.
Would it be advisable/possible to use the same computer for both operating
systems, since I have heard of switching back and forth?
Thank you in advance for the help and suggestions!
