Have you heard of Linux, but never had the chance to check it out for yourself? Come join us as we take a look at Vinux, a Linux distribution that includes the Orca screen reader and is designed with accessibility in mind. We'll go over the advantages of working with Vinux, how to install it and use its basic commands.

We're pleased to present this workshop with Sammy Gomez, our thoughtful and talented summer Work Experience Trainee. Along with his patience, friendliness and excellent problem-solving skills, Sammy brought some serious IT skills to the library, including a working knowledge of Linux. If you've ever considered getting to know Linux (Raspberry Pi fans, anyone?), this workshop will give you the background and tools you need to get started.
