Re: A new user with some ubuntu questions.
Sandy, If you are a new Linux user, you might want to try the Vinux distribution of Linux. This was specifically put together with accessibility concerns in mind. Although Ubuntu can be used with speech and a magnifier, performance with speech seems to be somewhat erratic and unreliable. Also, with Ubuntu , it is a bit tricky to access the administrative applications and more customizations might be needed to make it work the way you would like. Vinux should be much more robust with speech and includes applications which work well with speech without a lot of customization by the user. You can find out more about the Binux project and download the installer at the URL: http://vinux.org.uk Good luck. --Pete From: Sandy Phillips smilingsa...@insightbb.com Subject: A new user with some ubuntu questions.

I will soon be trying to learn ubuntu. My brother is putting ubuntu 9.10 on a computer along with windows 7 so I can learn about ubuntu. I am interested in learning the linux programs for a number of reasons. I have been using windows operating systems with jaws for windows. Which ubuntu edition 9.04 or 9.10 has the least amount of problems? As I said my brother is loading 9.10 but if there are more known issues with this particular version then I can go to 9.04 or any other version people could recommend. Currently I have no working knowledge of the linux operating system but I am more than willing to learn. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: A new user with some ubuntu questions.
Hi, In my opinion try to stay with 9.04, it is more stable than 9.10. 9.10 has some problems regarding sound and they affects orca directly.
