-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The only problem I had once I got Orca up and running on Debian was its interaction with Gaim. But I understand from a previous post on I think the Orca list that this is a known issue in Ubuntu Feisty as well. Of course there is no Orca package in Debian yet because it's still using Gnome 2.14. This problem will obviously be corrected once Debian Unstable updates to Gnome 2.16, which will hopefully be soon. The source package however installs fine with the current Debian packages with the exception of python-pyorbit, which seems to be out of date.
I personally recommend Ubuntu over Debian, but that's just because of its ease of use out of the box and because I just like it better. But Debian from an accessibility standpoint is easy enough to get talking if you don't mind a little source installation for now. I never filed any bugs regarding Debian accessibility because the problems I did have were in packages that aren't currently available in Debian, weren't really bad enough to worry about and/or were fixed in the source packages quickly. The only serious problem I had was the invisible buddy list in Gaim, which for some reason isn't a problem in Ubuntu Edgy and seemed to be pretty hard to trace. I don't think there is any reason to complain about the "inaccessibility" of Debian at this point, since most if not all the accessibility problems will be resolved when Debian packages Gnome 2.16. Just my 2 cents, Lorenzo - -- I've always found anomalies to be very relaxing. It's a curse. - --Jadzia Dax: Star Trek Deep Space Nine (The Assignment) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFhufSG9IpekrhBfIRAtTdAKCr2Zx0PWpRHPn7jQJwwRWmCQp+ngCfbNX+ YxMP4E2Q4X2MpbxPYJDd92k= =om1b -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
