Obviously the > original poster needs to read more about Linux first. I agree with what you state and I hope I gave the original poster something to get their teeth into. My comment in respect of accessibility was in respect of the paid for products as it was in the same paragraph. I started going down that road but then deleted it owing to the size limit on these posts for this list. Furthermore, as you acknowledge the lister needs to read a bit more. Then discussions on clamav, spamassassin, iptables etc. can take place. > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup@braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Gena http://www.ready2golinux.com M0EBP
