[NFBCS] Linux and Virtual box

[Samantha Torusio]

Thank everyone for the swift response. I just want to clarify a couple more
things.

So if apt-get install orca doesn't work, than add the Debian repository and
then apt install it? Why is virtual box not accessible?

If orca is put on the virtual machine on the MacBook, will it be possible
to switch between voiceover on the MacBook and orca on Linux on VM ware or
Virtualbox?
