Subject: Re: question

I'm going to do my standard shameless plug for Vinux, which is a distro
built on to of Ubuntu for the express purpose of advancing development of
accessible technologies.  Vinux 3.0, built from Ubuntu Lucid, is popular,
and in my still fairly uneducated opinion, the best current version of Linux
for the general blind population.  However, I will also acknowledge that
Adrian Knopix is the easiest to use for blind beginners, while blind power
programmers seem to prefer emacspeak on the consoles.

That said, most blind Vinux users seem to spend most of their time in
speakup on the consoles.  I think the value of learning how to work in the
consoles with speakup is huge.

great Linux distro for beginners. If you can not burn a CD of Ubuntu or you
Internet speed is not fast enough to download you can request a free CD at
the Ubuntu website. If you have any more questions do not hesitarte to ask.
Good Luck to you.
