Re: [orca-list] which linux distro with Orca

Once that comes out, it'll be fun to work with the alpha.  I dunno when that'll be, though, so I guess I'll

While I'm technically on the testing team, I can tell you that it's really quiet in my corner right now.  My 
brain needs things to do, so I'll fiddle
with Debian for a while until we have a new image for me to work with.
