Ok, there is not a link, here is what I do.
Make sure you are logged into your system at a text console with speakup
running.
***DO*** not do this in a X session or it will not work.
I create a image file.
qemu-img create -o size=16G -f raw openbsd.img
Change to taste.
Here is the qemu install
I never noticed this, but I never did a side by side comparison between
Vinux 5 and Ubuntu 14.04. I suppose it's possible the Vinux team
commented out some repositories available in Ubuntu, but I'd be
surprised if this were the case. I never had any issues enabling or
adding any Ubuntu reposito
ok, can you send me the link with how to do that? I would certainly appreciate
it a lot.

I use BSD all the time.
I use Qemu to set them up.
This gives me the text consoles and I can install them and speakup does
the work.
I do NetBSD, OpenBSD and FreeBSD all that way.
once they are installed, I just ssh to them.

As someone who has never used Vinux and hasn't used Ubuntu since
around Lucid, the complaint about Vinux having fewer features might be
related to bundled software. As someone who's quite comfortable with

well, it does seem confusing.
However, when vinux changed over to canonical (or broke from it, I am not
sure), a lot of changes got made.
I did a comparison of the 14.04 LTS version of Ubuntu and the build of Vinux

hmmm. good idea there. :)

someone may have properly ported it since I last tried some 4 years ago.
the only thing severely lacking in OpenBSD is braille/speech support in the

Well Christopher, I think he means that if they switched to Fedora, many of the
packages may not be available. Myself, in 2010 I picked Debian as packages are
newer.

I'm a bit confused by your message. You say that Vinux is lacking a lot
of useful features. You point out the large software repository
available to Ubuntu. vinux is based on Ubuntu, so everything you get
with Ubuntu you get with Vinux.

My biggest problem with Fedora is the lack of packages. Coming from Arch,
and the AUR, I'm used to having *all* of the Audacious plugins, including
crystalizer and such, but Fedora only came with a few of them. Also, for
packages like Emacspeak, you have to build the dependencies, DND builddep,

Hi!
I think you can build brltty for bsd.
But i am not sure.
And that requiers a braille display.

this is the biggest holdup to a lot of us blind folks, lack of coherent
information. It's most telling in the local activities and events arena, but it

well,
emotionalism aside, a lot of what you have to say appears based in the
realistic fact that we, as a community, don't have an actual unified distro to

I haven't used Vinux or Sonar, and what I've read of Ubuntu's main
line development has turned me off to anything that uses an Ubuntu
base, but probably my biggest want on the accessibility front would be
to see the Adriane accessibility suite ported upstream from Knoppix to

F123, the project I lead has cooperated with Sonar and Vinux in the past

It's funny you should say it's long overdue for there to be a blindness
related non-profit. I was part of a group who created exactly that
several years ago. After much discussion, we called ourselves The
International Association Of Visually Impaired Technologists or IAVIT.
See www.iavit.org.
I think we should work to make popular distributions accessible, and I
think that's still the goal of the Vinux team, but I still think it
makes sense to have custom distributions for the blind. It'll take time
and resources to get changes pushed up stream and blind new comers to
Linux, or even
Be warned that my comments are most likely unpopular and controversial. See

a response.
