I tried Vinux, it would seem to start in my VM and then no sound or anything. Was really not sure what to do with out any sort of speech on the boot process and didn't have a sited assistant at the time. On Nov 6, 2011, at 11:38 AM, John G. Heim wrote:
When I decided to get started learning linux, I just went out and got a cheap used computer. In character mode, linux will still run on just about anything. I have the current stable version of debian linux on a 15 year old laptop. But if you're going to run the GUI, you'll need a fairly powerful machine.
One way or another, I think a good way to get started is with a live CD and for that I would recommend vinux. http://vinuxproject.org.

Hi, I tried a while to download an iso and use it under VM Fusion on a mac with not much luck. Can anyone point me at a how too to get started with Fusion and Unix (Linux or FreeBSD is fine) from the viewpoint of a blind user?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks Scott
