Hi Lou,

Ubuntu is a flavor of linux that is probably the most friendly version of 
gnome linux out there.  It installs quite easily, and you get lots of free 
apps, but it is harder to use because the free screen reader, ORCA, is not 
as friendly as WE or JAWS.  If you want to play around, have fun!

Hi Bob.

What are you using for access technology with Ubuntu, and how well has it
worked?

I've never dabbled in the various flavors of Linux, but wouldn't mind
giving it a try.
