I like in Red Hat/Fedora the fact that we can install programs using yum. Does Ubuntu have such an updater?And I like that Red Hat offers pre-build perl libraries which can be installed faster with yum (although perl is not compiled very well under some Red Hat distros).

Nod not only can you run it from a CD but I ran it from a CD and then installed it with no problem once I was sure I wanted it. I like redhat still but since Ubunto has a easier blind install I will play with it a while.

Since there is so much talk about ubuntu and orca this days, i would suggest to you to try ubuntu, specially after april 25, when new versioncomes out, which will enable the instalation of ubuntu on the same windowspartition, so you can try it and see if you like it or not. Ofcourse i would suggest to you to backup your windows before you start messing up with ubuntu. The reason i'm suggesting ubuntu for you is because its got built itbraille and speech support so in the same time you can have output on bothdevices or you can choose if you want to use speech or braille. Btw if i'mcorrect ubuntu uses brtty for braille support.----- Original Message ----- From: "public.niran" <public.niran@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2008 7:29 PM Subject: Which Linux + screen reader to choose?Hi everyone, I am a windows user using jaws.
