[NFBCS] Linux compatibility with JAWS

[Humberto Avila]

Dear Cricket,


As Greg stated, Linux is an entirely different operating system than 
Microsoft Windows. FreedomScientific (the company behind JAWS) does not 
make JAWS available for Linux. However, there is a very decent screen 
reader you can use with Linux, called ORCA. Check out the following link 
for a fully accessible Linux distribution that can be freely downloaded 
and installed:

Hope this helps, and am sorry this probably isn't the answer you were 
looking for. :(


Sincerely,


Humerto
