[nfbcs] Sluggishness of Vinux

[Louis Maher]

Hello,

I use a windows machine, with JAWS and a Brailliant Braille display, using
SecureCRT http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/ to give me a responsive
character-based access to a Linux environment.  Once in Linux, you can use
the Linux Screen program to give you as many character-based sessions as you
want.  I use the Linux Samba program to connect my Windows environment to my
Linux environment, thus allowing me to use Visual Studio, Windows Explorer
and Internet Explorer on the Linux environment.

My company uses Red hat Linux (version 5.6) with the KDE desktop.  I know of
no graphical way to work with this type of Linux environment.

Subject: [nfbcs] Sluggishness of Vinux

Hey all,
Next semester I have to use Linux to complete a C++ course. So, I figured
I'd try out Vinux; I haven't ever used Linux in my life. I'm wondering if
any of you know a way to lessen the lag. I'm using the virtual edition of
Vinux. Would you all recommend just putting it on a flash drive?
I'm really concerned about my efficiency and productivity in this course if
the opperating system I'm using is so slow. Any feedback would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks!
Jordyn
