I'm very glad to hear about positive experiences so far with Karmic. I installed the x64 version yesterday on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 9400). Orca did work out-of-the-box, which is nice. If blind users absolutely must do a few things on linux, Karmic can do the job. However, I found there to be

Hi, Lol I didn't realize they were respawning. So that's why there is no volume control. I have just been using alsamixer. If you prefer a gui and can see well enough to use it, alsamixergui should do the trick. sudo apt-get install alsamixergui I added a custom application launcher with
