Re: [orca-list] what distro for orca?

[Robert Cole <rkcole72984 gmail com>]

Wubi is actually the Windows Ubuntu Installer. It allows you to install 
Ubuntu along side Windows, and Ubuntu is basically stored in a Windows 
swap file. I am not too sure how accessible Wubi is to screen readers 
such as JAWS or NVDA because it has been a very long time since I used 
Windows. I actually use Linux exclusively here at home.

When I referred to the installer being accessible, I was meaning the 
installer which you access through the Ubuntu live medium which is used 
to install Ubuntu onto the hard drive either alongside windows or by 
replacing Windows with Ubuntu. If you want to test out Ubuntu without 
going through this channel (i.e. the installer found on the live CD or 
USB flash drive), Wubi still exists and does work well from what I have 
heard.

I hope that this has been of some help to you.
