Eunity is being worked on to make it more accessible, I believe. The
folks at KDE are also working, last I heard to make that accessible,
and there was something else too. Hopefully Gnome won't be the only
one for long.On 8/18/2011 7:19 PM, Jared Wright wrote:
You are correct, it's only Gnome for Orca users for now. As for
what Unity is, it's just a different spin on shell management.
Has more features for netbooks and touch interfaces, given their
growing prominence.

look it up since I’ve heard on various threads here
probably, that Gnome is the only accessible desktop for
linux out there. Can somebody correct me on that if it’s
not true?
When I installed 11.04 I installed it using the
accessibility if you do that it defaults to the classic
ubuntu so it works perfect. I found that Ubuntu is only
getting better I hope 11.10 stays that way.

At work we use a couple of Ubuntu machines which I
use with ORCA. We're currently on the 8.04 baseline but
they are being upgraded to 11.04.
As I understand it this release includes the new
unity desktop by default but you can use the older style
Gnome desktop. Does anyone know if this is write and how
you go about it?
