Hi All

I'm considering purchasing a netbook.  The 2 main ones which run linux 
seem to be  the Asus Eee Pc and the Acer Aspire One.  I was wondering if 
anyone on list has any experience of these.  They both run custom linux 
distros, so I would like to know how possible it is to get accessibility 
related software to run on them, i.e. speakup, brltty, emacspeak and 
orca.  Obviously I could install a different distro but this could lead 
to more problems regarding drivers for the hardware, etc.

software on this list, it seems to be the most general purpose of the 
lists for the various programs and I wanted to avoid cross-posting to

Many thanks
