Like Beth suggested, it should be possible to install Ubuntu using the alternative install CD, but I don't know if the alternative installer is accessible, so you might need some help to do the installation. I have used Ubuntu with GNOME on a Pentium MMX 166MHz with 64 MiB RAM (it was really slow, but worked), but I don't know how much extra RAM is needed for the accessibility extras (speech synthesis etc.). -- Jan Claeys -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
