Hi,<br>
<br>
I was talking to a lady who is totally blind today and we talked about OSes. She said Apple was very good about supporting the blind and Windows was trash. She despises Windows. She said that the favorite "OS" for many blind is Ubuntu and commented about how good Ubuntu was for the blind.<br>
<br>
I suspect there are other Linux distros that are quite suitable for the blind out of the box. Obvioulsy, the FOSS tools are available to make a distro accessible to the blind. But I was intrigued by was that FOSS was ahead of proprietary in supporting the visually impaired and blind.<br>
