[Ham-Computers] Linux

[Dale Miller]

Duane,
    There is one or two not sure off the top of my head Linux distros 
for blind.
They cater to them. I've never set one up so I don't know how easy or 
hard etc it would be.
If Jeff is upto it, he and I can research it.
I've never researched it so I really can't put a plug in for you in 
particular.
I do agree with Jeff Linux is very stable.
The only time my machine get rebooted is if I go to Win2k to play a game.
I've tried Wine, and CrossOver Office and can't seem to get them working 
so I can completely do away with Windows.
I love my Electronic Arts games (Sim City, etc)

73's
