Hi, Although I do not yet have my hands on an Eee_pc, I would say the best would be to replace the Zandros system with Ubuntu or one of the other Linuxes where we know the a11y setups. There is a lot of info on the wikki. If it was me, I would also install a console-only screen reader as I think that the hardware is a little light for running gnome with Orca on a full-time basis. There is a model of the Eee_pc with 2 gb of ram which might work better with orca. HTH, Willem
