linux and freedom box

linux and freedom box

[Danny Crone]

Hello.  I will get a powerful linux box that can run the linux freedom box client.
The linux distro I will run on it is the disk set from cheap bytes with Red Hat with speak up.
My question is, if I install red hat with all packages, will the x windows need to be configured before installing and running the freedom box client?
Also, will it matter if the graphic desktop is gnome or k d e?

Hi.

The answer to both your questions is yes.  Actually, as long as you
install both Gnome and KDE, you should be ok.

Hope this helps.

I cannot tell you anything about Freedom Box's requirements. However, I
can tell you that installing the Speakup Modified Fedora using the
"everything" option, as recommended in our installation HOWTO, will give
you a configured graphical environment ready to use. Gnome will be the
default.

If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem.

At this point correct me if I am wrong most knowledgeable ones but isn't
installing k d e basically a waist of space as far as we are concerned? 
Hope this helps.

That's only true in the short term.  There is active development on KDE
accessibility.

Is it going to work better then gnome accesibility? God I hope so!

Yes, but it may be easier to just accept it than to untangle all the
dependencies involved in excluding it.

Before you think about installing anything, I suggest you not install
redhat anything, and install Fedora Core 3 if you are wanting to use the
RPM supported style of Linux.
That is the cd set he was referring to that comes from cheep bytes.  Hth
