Linux Lite 6.0
Linux Lite 6.0 has become my favorite Linux Distro because it is so easy to use and looks so good. Jerry Bezencon has announced the release of Linux Lite
6.0. The distribution, which is geared toward providing a user friendly
experience on an Ubuntu base, is focusing on bringing assistive
technologies to users. "It's a well known fact that
we target Windows users. Out of the box, Windows offers a fairly
complete system. That includes tools for the hearing and sight impaired.
In this release you can zoom in on the desktop, have a screen reader
talk to you and complete tasks with an onscreen keyboard. We've made all
of these functions highly configurable. The onscreen keyboard
application is Onboard. On-screen virtual keyboard is an alternative
input method that can replace a real hardware keyboard. Virtual keyboard
may be a necessity in various cases. For example, your hardware
keyboard is just broken; you do not have enough keyboards for extra
machines; your hardware does not have an available port left to connect a
keyboard; you experience difficulty in typing on a real keyboard; or
you are building a touchscreen-based web kiosk. Orca is a free and
open-source, flexible, extensible screen reader from the Gnome project
for individuals who are blind or visually impaired." Additional information along with screenshots are available in the project's release announcement.
