Any system I use must have a working Orca screen reader. The GNOME Fallback, as hacked by Rubin et al, works very well with Orca (at least as well as does the un-hacked Fallback); I prefer Trisquel's layout to Ubuntu's. If customizing Fallback is really the cause of some delays in getting

Oh, I'm not sure how to work with those formats in Trisquel. Whenever I want to exchange files, using a USB drive, I format the file system as FAT on the USB. When sneaker-netting files from one machine running GNU/Linux to another, I suppose you can format the USB as ext3, ext4, or xfs?
