Re: Accessible redhat?

Fedora is an accessible desktop Linux distribution, and I assume it still has some ties to Redhat. Before it was spun off as a community sponsored distribution it used to be called something like Redhat Desktop. I'm not sure if this is what you're asking or not. On 09/11/16 11:50, Mark Peveto

Sorry, I didn't see the rest of your questions. I asume you're talking about Vinux. I don't run Windows myself, but I'm pretty sure the wiki points people to some various options to build a bootable USB stick under Windows. Vinux comes up with Orca enabled, and I'm not sure what other screen

It's been a while, but I don't think you need to install a Samba server on Windows. I've never had to install anything on Windows to share a folder or access folders from other Windows boxes or Linux boxes running a Samba server. You just need to set up a home group in Windows. On 06/07/16
