If I could add to this. What I think he's driving at is he uses the windows box as his main terminal or interface. JFW or another reader virbalizes the output from programs like putty or secure crt which you would use to then connect to the unix machine. You would have the TTS output from JFW on your windows desktop but your actually say working on a machine in another room, or state or country.

But I got a BS degree in computer science and taught myself about linux. So I am a linux systems administrator. I know only slightly more about Windows than a typical power user. I think it's questionable whether it's better to concentrate on Windows or linux. I believe there are way, way more Windows systems administrators than linux systems administrators. But there is also a lot more competition for those jobs. The one advantage to linux is that it's designed to be administered remotely via a text console. There are very few things that cannot be configured at the command line or via text files. That's a huge advantage for a blind systems administrator. On the other hand, the screen readers are better for Windows. I don't think there exists a commercial screen reader for linux. Jaws and Window-eyes are very expensive but they are also very good. There is a rock solid screen reader for the linux command line called speakup. But it works only in text mode. For the graphical user interface, there is a screen reader called orca with is really getting to ve excellent. But it's not as good as jaws. Not yet. What I do is use Windows as my desktop to admin linux machines. ----- Original Message ----- From: "philip" <philip_maher2005@yahoo.co.uk> To: "Blind sysadmins list" <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 3:25 PM Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] what is system administrator need
