[gui-talk] Most Accessible Linux Flavor

[Peter Donahue]

Good afternoon everyone,

    I'm hoping to get a new computer in the near future and am considering 
breaking with Windows due to the loss of particular functionality in recent 
versions plus the high cost of Windows software, and using Linux as my OS 
instead. Like Windows there are various versions or "Flavors" of Linux. 
Since I do lots of multi-media and Web design projects I'll be curious as to 
which Linux versions offer the most where media applications are concerned.

    I'd like to know which version you find to be the most accessible with 
screen readers, and which Linux screen readers work the best. I know there 
are a few out there but have not had experience with them. Do they require 
an external synthesizer or will they use your PC sound card as Windows 
screen readers do.

In caverns deep a burning snare,
He shot from heaven a piercing ray,
And the dark treachery brought to day.”
