[Trainer-talk] Fwd: Vinux 3.1 Released

[David Goldfield]

As I am a fan, user and, I hope, an advocate of open source software I 
have been intrigued by the Linux accessibility solutions.  Has anyone 
used them and, specifically, how does it handle Web browsing and email 
compared to what we are used to from Windows-based screen readers.
