linux distro question

linux distro question

[Eric Kosten]

Recently I went to a linux group meeting locally, and they were giving away
a distro called Ubuntu.  From the docs on the cd, it seems to parallel
debian in some ways.  I want to know if anyone has tried speakup with this.
They seem to speak to access to their software by all,  e.g. the following
snip from the docs:
Ubuntu is a complete desktop Linux operating system, freely available with
both community and professional support. The Ubuntu community is built on
the
ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Manifesto: that software should be available
free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their
local
language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the
freedom to customize and alter their software in whatever way they see fit.

Well, Hank, you might try
www.linuxquestions.org
They have a section for "lugs"  user groups.
I did write them about hosting blind linux forums, but they didn't think there 
was enough of a calling.

i also was told this too by my local group too. and in a way i agree with
them. the reason why we branch off seperate from other windows user while
using windows is cause we really use windows differently from them. but with
linux, not really.
