Re: [orca-list] which linux distro

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

Yeah, I recently installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my laptop. The key 
alt+windows+s, also known as alt+super+s, will start Orca. I'm a long 
time Vinux user, but I went with Ubuntu 16.04 this time around to make 
sure I was getting the best hardware support I could. I'll switch back 
to Vinux once they come out with a version based on Ubuntu 16.04 or the 
Fedora based version. Note that I just saw Sonar came out with a new beta.
