Anyone running vinux or any other debian flavor including any of the ubuntus can get lots of useful documentation for new users by aptitude install debian-reference-en for the english version. A command like aptitude install debian-reference-es would install the spanish version. Once that's on the system a user or root can run the command debian-reference and have it bring up sensible browser and load the documentation automatically. Of course for slackware http://slackbook.org/ has revised slackware documentation and every slackware distro comes with the slackbook package users may install once they find it on the CDs. Another package for all debian flavors to download is doc-linux-text or doc-linux-html and that brings down the material found out on linux documentation project web site. That then lives in and under /usr/share/doc/doc-linux-text/ for those interested in some reading. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bill Cox Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 9:15 To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Command Line Documentation Do you think this book should be included by default in Linux distros for the blind? We're considering adding some documentation for new users in the Vinux distro. Also, please send me a copy. Even better than a book would be an interactive tutorial for the blind that leads them through the learning process... of course I'm really just dreaming here.
