[NFBCS] deploying a virtual machine

[Tod Fassl]

About the Linux distrobution to use. I believe the most easily 
accessible disto is Ubuntu. Once you boot the installation image ISO 
file, press Alt+Super+s to start the screen reader. The super key is 
often called the Windows key in non-linux environments.


Another accessible Linux distro is Debian. To get speech, boot the 
installation imageand press the s key. Just keep pressing the s key 
until it starts talking. This is going to give you a character user 
interface during the installation. But you can install a graphical user 
interface to use when the installation is done.
