Does anyone have a set of instructions for installing voxin on vinux vmWare edition?  Also, which version is the one to get for the best experience?
 
Thanx...

    Hi Tony. as far as i'm aware, nick's using VDI from VMWare to allow

    Hi
    instead of saying Linux why not say Ubuntu and let the word Linux out of
    it completely? It seems like when you mention the word Linux it scares
    people for some reason. I guess that's why more...

    I don't think it will be any faster - but it could be, the main advantage is
    the keybinding controls- I think it may be cross-platform so there may be a
    windows version available to try.

    Hello,
     
    What is the 'x86' imbedded in some of the file names? Other names have 'x64' which I assume is 64 bit.

    That naming convention for the architecture (x386, x64, ...) anfd the file name convention is also used in naming software packages thart get installed with 'apt-get' or debian binary packages.

    Hi Scott, I don't know how to do this in python, but in bash it is very

    Tony the brltty is deb and the Orca is upstream but the reason for

    Okay Bert. In fact, I also have an idea to update orca and Brltty

    of magical gizmos I can come up with.

    Orca has keys for navigating by item, list, paragraph, checkbox, button,
    combo, separator, heading (specify number), and probably more. Check
    bindings in preferences or Orca's documentation more...

    If you press ctrl+insert+space while Firefox and Orca is running you
    can see the Firefox specific Orca keybindings on the keybindings page.

I would recommend the latest version of Voxin in the language you prefer e.g. English or American etc. The instructions for installing it on a virtual system will be exactly the same as on a hard-drive install - I think there are instructions on the wiki written my David Ring.
