FOr the browser, go with Firefox. For e-mail, it's Thunderbird. Both are quite well supported on Linux, and both speak with Orca. I found there's nothing I can't do on Linux. I can even use Wine to play self-voicing games. I haven't used Windows, even in a virtual machine for about 3 years, and I'm not going back. I run GNOME 3.8 and Orca for most everything, and I use Speakup in the text consoles when I don't have access to GNOME, usually because I consciously broke it, either by doing a premature upgrade or by other means that are entirely my own fault. I have rarely if ever had a bad installation with a non-working GNOME+Orca setup. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ... She calls her cake, Kyle?"
