Google is your friend at this point. To be able to run a graphical
environment, your going to need more memory than you would just running a
command line only distribution, and i'm afraid that there's quite a steap
learning curve when switching to linux, for example, drives aren't labled
the same, in most distributions, if you want to switch to your primary
partition on your hard drive which contains the OS, you would type cd
/dev/sda1 into a terminal and press enter. of course it's much easier from a
desktop environment, but administering the system means you'll need to do
some work in the command line to get orca to work with the applications, or
else you'll have to use the command line to do most admministration tasks.

Vinux is very cool! Wait a few days. An update to 2.0 will be released
early this week. You will need to download a large ISO file, which is an
image of a CD. Then you must burn it to a CD. You can run the operating
system from the live CD or install it to your hard drive or an USB thumb
drive. Of course, it will work much better once installed to your hard
drive.

Hi,
JAWS will not work what so ever in linux, as it is a windows
application. Some linux distributions come pre-packaged with a screen
reader called Orca. One distribution like this is called Vinux. It is a
distribution based on another distribution called Debian, and includes
the orca screen reader, as well as other accessibility features. You
can download it from,
www.vinux.org.uk
Hope this isn't too confusing,
Aiden
