You should try Vinux - This is a specially designed version of Ubuntu that
works out of the box with a screen reader and has tools and setup that are
optimized by use for the blind.
To find Vinux, go to:
http://vinuxproject.org/
You might also want to listen to a podcast from the Eyes On Success radio
show / podcast (formerly ViewPoints) in which we interviewed the developers
of Vinux:
ViewPoints
ViewPoints 1136 9-7-2011 Vinux - accessible operating system
http://eyesonsuccess.net/bin/DLC.php?get=vp%201136%20podcast.mp3
Show Notes http://eyesonsuccess.net/show%20notes/show%20notes%201136.htm
Hosts Peter Torpey and Nancy Goodman Torpey devote this entire show to
Vinux, a fully accessible and easy to use computer operating system. Besides
describing how it works, they interview two of its creators and explain how
you can get involved in follow-on improvements, updates and upgrades.
Hope that helps.

Message-ID: 001301cdf9d8$8c0655d0$a4130170$@net
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Hello, I have recently purchased an HP lap top with windows XP. The screen
reader is JAWS. I am interested in learning to use UBUNTU and a screen
reader like ORCA or the best you can recommend. I guess I need some type of
vm ware to accomplish this Your assistance is appreciated.Kerry D
