Hi Alex.
I'd quite like to use Vinux however everyone is meant to use the same
distribution with the same sort of setup for ease of management issues.
Thanks for the info though.
Nick.

Hi.
Yes, this is correct. In the gdm screen, you have the choice of
opting for Classic instead of Unity as your desktop. If you do this,
it's regular old Gnome. See if they'll let you install Vinux on your
own machine. There's an 11.04 based build which comes configured by
default to work well with accessibility. Just download the .iso file,
burn to cd, turn off machine and pop in the drive and then go through
the steps of installing it to your machine. Should cut down on start
up time so you can be productive again. Otherwise, you'll have to
configure stock Ubuntu yourself. I've never done this but have heard
it can be a challenge without sighted assistance.

Good luck,
Alex M
