linux for blind student (fwd)

[Nigel Stoppard]

If you are new to linux then i would have a look at the web site for the 
linux cook book.  Sorry i don't have a link for it.  Try  a search on google 
for linux cook book.  Not sure if thats all one word or not.

You could also have a look at
www.oralux.org

Which is a version of Linux that runs from cd and comes up talking. 
Although it is still being developped.

Not sure how much vision you have but if you can see to read or have a 
reader then the dummies books give a good introduction.  Unfortunatly at the 
moment even the Gnome desktop is not very accessible but this should improve 
with time.
Hope this helps,
Nigel,
