FYI - Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 released

[Willie Walker]

Hi Anders:

A fair amount has happened since 2000.  The GNOME desktop has built in a 
lot of good accessibility infrastructure, and the Orca screen reader 
(http://live.gnome.org/Orca) is gaining a fair amount of momentum.  In 
addition, Linux distributions seem to be taking usability and 
accessibility more seriously.  Ubuntu, for example, has an accessible 
installation process.

Hope this helps,

Will
