Am I right that speakup is only for the virtual console?
Is there a tutorial how to install and use it?

Subject: Re: for special purpose Lucid or Maverick?
I would get Lucid and update it to as recent of an installation as
possible by downloading the 10.04.2 iso and once you have everything
installed that you need, I would run an
aptitude full-upgrade
My reasoning for this is that even though they may never update it again,
Lucid, being an LTS is more focused on stability rather than features, and
you are going to want a computer that has as little trouble as possible
without a tech support person right there and no Internet connection.
Also, I have found Lucid to work beautifully with speakup. Orca isn't
really developed as rapidly as it was when Willy was in charge of it and
so, it isn't like in the better days when a new distro release meant leaps
and bounds forward in the screen reader department. So, I also have found
Orca works about as good on both.

Hi,
I need your advice because I have no knowledge about.
We will donate a computer to a smaal organization running a house for
visually impaired children and orphans. They do'nt have access to the
internet.
So the computer, of course with the help of Orca, can be a great help for
education etc. and also to play some games.
I installed Maverick and Orca 3.1.1 but can somebody confirm if this is
the
better choice than Lucid LTS?
I think the computer will be used untill the hardware dies without
updating
in the meanwhile.
Thanks in advance.
