Hi, John:
I'm afraid that building a custom laptop is virtually impossible. Even
though you can get all the parts, you need a suitable case, and these
aren't of the shelf items. Creating a case to specs is a would cost
literally hundreds of thousands of dollars.
So, I think laptops will need to
It looks right to me assuming your user name is lshare. Surely, you
don't usually log in as lshare, do you? You can create a user just for
sharing files but you are going to run into a lot of permissions
problems. It would be better just to use the user name you usually log

You won't be able to find a existing case with space for an integrated
braille display. It might be possible to install linux on a Pac Mate
though. I had a Pac Mate with a 40 cell display. I still use the display
every day but it is attached to my linux desktop. The Pac Mate itselfis

get others interested in participating.
I'm thinking that what I would really like is a laptop with a built-in
Braille display. It would have to have wi-fi and I would install
comand-line only Debian. I have a
It's been a while, but I don't think you need to install a Samba server
on Windows. I've never had to install anything on Windows to share a

I am pretty sure that on your linux machine, all you have to do is this:
sudo apt-get install samba
*sudo smbpasswd -a *
That's all I did on a fresh debian jessie machine and I was able to
access my files in Win7. In Win7, press control+r to open a run dialog
box. Type \\\. That will open
The following mount command mounts a cifs file system, I.E. your Windows
share, under the mount point called note.
The share is called bid and the user is also called bid.
One is prompted for a password when the mount is envoced, but there are
