Vinux

[Tony Baechler]

Hi,

Again, I must disagree.  Debian does install basic accessibility with a 
standard install.  It doesn't install Orca, although it should.  It does 
install Speakup and I think brltty though.  Samuel is working on an 
accessibility section of the archive which should help, but Orca should 
be included as part of the standard desktop task.  Even so, one does get 
a bootable system with speech after the install and one can easily 
install Orca.  Again, Ubuntu includes Orca already, but not Speakup.  I 
guess in that regard, a distro that includes both out of the box would 
be better.  I'm not saying that any distro is perfect, and even Debian 
has work to do to make it more accessible, but the tools are easily 
available and included as part of Debian, while Orca is part of Ubuntu.

I do agree that grml is very difficult to use with X.  I got nowhere 
when I tried, so I gave up.  It is a very good command line CD and does 
include software speech, but it should include a way to install the 
standard desktop task with Orca as the Debian installer does.
