Orca in 11.04 is very stable in the terminals. Before 11.04 I found myself
switching to speakup and a console window but now I do everything in orca just
because I can have as many consoles open as I want.

Oh. So then if Gnome works with SuSE, (for I’d like to be acquainted with that
distribution), does Bash, KSH, ZSH, and Onquist also work with Orca as well?
I’m all confused over the command line in Linux and it’s accessibility
features. You know how in windows when you call CMD, you get input via the
same interface (JAWS, Window-Eyes), as you get when working with desktop and
Gui components? Does the same go for Linux? I ask because is not Emac Speak
different from Orca, and depending on which environment you want, you have to
keep switching between them? If so, then it sounds kind of cumbersome, doesn’t
it?

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.

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.

Hi All.
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?
Thanks.
Nick.
