[nfbcs] [gui-talk] Most Accessible Linux Flavor

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Jude and everyone,

     I heard that Arch Linux is very accessible. Which Linux screen 
reader is best for this version. Speaking of Linux screen readers does 
one have the issues with SMAS and other costs for maintaining the 
software? I know these are open source but that's a way to "Get the hook 
in" so the vendor can sell you add-ons, upgrades, etc. I'm not 
complaining but want to understand how Linux screen readers differ from 
their Windows counterparts.

          We have a friend of ours that swares by Linux and is peaking 
our interest in test-driving it to encourage us to switch to that OS 
reducing if not eliminating the cost of software purchasing and 
maintenance. If it makes sense for Fortune 500 companies to go the open 
source route as a cost saving measure so it makes sense for Peter and 
Mary Donahue to do likewise. We'll keep you posted on where this venture 
goes from here.
