As explained in my email, the accessibility profiles have been present in Ubuntu since 8.04, and were somewhat improved in 12.04, they are only available at install time. Vinux makes use of these profiles, particularly the screen reader profile, so you are not really missing out on much if you use Vinux 5 or an earlier version of Ubuntu.

Also, I would like to know if I might do better using gnome or > mate. At this point in time I suggest VInux 5. Vinux 5 comes with 3 desktop environments, Unity, GNOME Shell, and Mate. BTW, you didn't reply to the list, but to me only, so replying to the list which is where I think you meant the post to go.

Re: which distro
Both told me, as I mentioned, that it's kernel won't work on that processor.

Re: which distro
Ubuntu 14.04 or Sonar. Happy hacking. On Friday 26 September 2014 11:52 PM, Lenny wrote: Hi, I am looking for a version of Linux to run on my Asus 701.

Ubuntu XP-Like version 10.04 runs good on it, but every time I try to install Voxin for Orca, it seems to install, but I get the message that speech-dispatcher is not included in this version, which comes after the Voxin install. I hear the IBM voice speaking during the install, and I log out and back in, and no Voxin. So I'm looking for another distro for this notebook. It has a 4GB HD, so something like Lubuntu would be good. I tried booting to that, but either Orca would not boot as usual, or it has the latest kernel which does not like this processor.

which distro
Hi, I am looking for a version of Linux to run on my Asus 701. It has a Celeron Mobile 900 MHZ processor and 1GB of RAM. Ubuntu XP-Like version 10.04 runs good on it, but every time I try to install Voxin for Orca, it seems to install, but I get the message that speech-dispatcher is not included in this version, which comes after the Voxin install. I hear the IBM voice speaking during the install, and I log out and back in, and no Voxin. So I'm looking for another distro for this notebook. It has a 4GB HD, so something like Lubuntu would be good. I tried booting to that, but either Orca would not boot as usual, or it has the latest kernel which does not like this processor.
