[NFBCS] Linux compatibility with JAWS

[Mike Gorse]

What is it that you're trying to do? The short answer is that JAWS is for 
Windows and won't run on Linux. Orca is the Linux (GNOME/Mate) equivalent 
to JAWS or NVDA. There are other screen readers for the Linux console.

But if you're running Linux from inside Windows via WSL, and you're only 
running console applications, then you should be able to do this with 
JAWS. Same for remotely logging into a Linux system via ssh.
