Hi, My sighted friend has been trying to help me get a gnopernicus system running for me, but nearly every distribution we've tried, we've been having problems with libraries, festival, etc. We now want to try Ubuntu, but I do have a few questions: On Ubuntu version 6, is gnopernicus usable as yet by your average computer user? I use my computer for everyday tasks, like writting University assignments, email, web surfing, etc, is the gnopernicus on Ubuntu version 6 up to doing these things? If it isn't, when do you guys estimate that gnopernicus and orca and Ubuntu will be accessible enough for the lay person, and will those of us who don't have a braille display be able to install a Ubuntu using speech? Does Ubuntu also have the built-in Speakup screen reader? My friend and I tried to install the Fedorra distro which has been modified by having Speakup built into the kernel, but for some reason the PC kept on re-booting halfway through the installation, we had to do a rescue with a mini linux distro, because the re-booting halfway somehow damaged the boot manager, which is trying to manage a dual-boot system I'm trying to have with Window and Linux. Thanks Ari
