firewall quesstions
greetings, I almost think something similar had been asked on this list a few months ago, but i could not dig it up in the archives. First off, after a year of growing comfortable with ubuntu and orca on a test machine, I finally installed Ubuntu (8.04 hardy herrin) onto my everyday machine. My test machine did not have internet access, so there were still several asspecs of ubuntu I was unable to try. In particular, I would like to implimment a firewall before I turn the internet on while using my new ubuntu system (FYI, the computer is set up to duel-boot from windows as well). Doing some basic research I found out there are two options, firestarter and ufw. 1: is firestarter accessible with orca? @: which is easier to learn for a novice? I have no experience with network management, iftables or other advanced concepts. In windows, I set my firewall to high/highest security and don't need to return to it often. All I want is to allow my necessary activity (apt-get update, reading my e-mail and googling instructions on how to get orca/ubuntu/etc to work well) and block almost everything else. Thankyou:-) and appologies for jumping in now. I know most people are focused on the upcoming 9.04 release. _ Windows Live™ SkyDrive: Get 25 GB of free online storage. http://windowslive.com/online/skydrive?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_skydrive_032009-- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

The wiki for the Open SAPI project now has details on how to setup a development enviroment to get the SAPI engine running under wine. This will run with speech-dispatcher and orca, not brilliantly and ever so buggy but it is a work in progress. It will only get better with your input. I have had the system running very nicely but during a rework i have managed to introduce some bugs. http://code.google.com/p/open-sapi/ There is a discussion group to ask questions and make suggestions and comments which will help me others add more detail to the wiki. http://groups.google.com/group/open-sapi Any help is welcome, wiki writers, developers, SAPI engine owners. I know it does not work brilliantly at the moment so please do not reply with it does not work. Any constructive feedback is welcomed. Please post this to any other sites, mailing lists and forums where people might be interested especially other distros and Mac.
