[ale] OT: The blind and OSes

[jslozier at gmail.com (Jay Lozier)]

Hi,

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.

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.
