I wish that I could be more help in this situation. Seeing that it [XPLike Ubuntu] is based off of Ubuntu 11.04, I am guessing that it was using something prior to GNOME Shell, something n the GNOME 2.x cycle. I have seen some distributions which try to present a Windows-like desktop which

Hi, I have heard of a Windows-Like distro. I believe it used to be called Lindows, but because Microsoft got their panties in a bunch the name was changed to Linspire. I have never tried it, buut I believe it is Ubuntu based. If you do try it, I would be interested in knowing what

What an interesting history behind Linspire [1] and Freespire [2] (Linspire's free branch). It was originally based off of Debian, but then it shifted its base to Ubuntu. Linspire was bought out by Xandros [3] in 2008. From the Xandros Distrowatch page [4], it appears that it ships with KDE by

This has not been my experience with the Linux community. I know the Linux community has a reputation of being a bunch of tech savvy nerds who have no patience for the new comer, but this has not been my experience as of late, and especially not in the accessibility community. I wouldn't use

I guess mint linux had that interface if I am not mistaken. But again do they have Orca on it is another question. Happy hacking. Krishnakant. On 11/08/2013 11:49 AM, Lenny wrote: this will be my last post on this, because either folks have no clue of what I was asking about, or they are so

You were unclear as to your past experience, or actually mentioned nothing, so as is usually the case people try and give more basic information than may be called for just in case. You certainly miss the main point though. The interface must be accessible, and I for one tried to steer you

I think Glenn was right when he said he came to the wrong list. Since so many people jumped in to help, I'm sure if anyone on list had experience with XPLike then they would have offered up their experiences. Since no one apparently has any experience with XPLike, they offered up the

Unfortunately you will get that with Linux users sometimes. It's either Linux or nothing, you bunches or nothing, this just show that distro or nothing, for some reason it is common to have that behavior in the Lenix community. Fortunately you have people like me, who use a variety of distro's

this will be my last post on this, because either folks have no clue of what I was asking about, or they are so wrapped up in their own flavor of Ubuntu that the only advice I got was to try either a newer version, or try vinux. I have extensively used Ubuntu, and it has gotten me out of binds
