[NFBCS] Introduction and question on VS Code for linux

[Jack Heim]

I got some advice on getting Visual Studio Code for Linux working on the 
orca list, orca-list at gnome.org. I could not get it to work but I didn't 
try very hard. Its still on my to-do list. But I think there are people 
on that list who are using VSC.

>> Hello al,
>> I just subscribed to this list today. I do have a bachelors in computer information systems. Recently I have installed slint which is a Slackware based linux distribution on one of my computers. I am trying to figure out how to install visual studio code insiders build on it. I want to test it with orca. I am having trouble finding help on how to do this. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could try? I do use visual studio code on my windows desktop. I mainly use it for learning to code in Python 3.
