Thanks for the info. I'm curious to know what's new in terms of
accessibility in 2.6 in contrast to 2.4. The last time I checked the Gnome
home page, it just said that they'll be writing about the improvements in
the accessibility side pretty soon. I think I'll install the whole of Gnome
like I just installed KDE a while back. I'm now running apt-get dist-upgrade
in the background with the distro set to testing and there are quite many
KDE packages to be upgraded. Fortunately I've got a VDSL connection and the
funet.fi FTP-mirror is real fast, too.
Yet another newbie question (YANR):
OK, I'm under the impression that stable contains the files in the current
Debian release, testing is some kind of a middle-ground and unstable
contains the latest bits of software being worked upon. Now, when Serge is
out does it mean that files in testing will contain newer software that will
be part of the next distro after Serge and that stable will be synonymous
with Serge files?
Btw, I'm totally blind, so I can't use Mozilla or Evolution.
Umm, can't you use Gnopernicus to read them? I managed to install
Gnopernicus in Mandrake and it read most bundled Gnome apps all right.
However, none of the Mandrake specific configuration tools were read at all,
which finally put me off regarding using X with speech. Also, I like KDE
better because of the graphical theme editor and many other things, but no
can do. QT won't be accessible any time soon, I suppose.
I think it should work with both. I have a little sight left but am mostly
working with speech. And would really need speech in the long run, magnified
images are moree like the secondary and complementary output medium to me if
speech is primary.
