Re: [orca-list] what computer for linux

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel shellworld net>]

I tried installing debian on a Dell Inspiron 1545 and don't recommend it 
to anyone.  It needed nonfree firmware drivers since what used to be 
done by hardware is now both software dependent and proprietary driver 
dependent.  A contact I have who is sighted ended up going to the lenovo 
website and building his computer with that company and had no problems 
with his computer installing Fedora on it.
