I am happy to announce the release of Vinux 2.0 Beta 1 which is now based on Debian Lenny 5.02. It comes in the form of a Debian Live CD which has Orca and Speakup installed and configured by default. When you boot from the Live CD you will hear three audio beeps when the boot prompt it ready. Once booted Orca will kick in and you can switch to Epeakup in console mode if you prefer a text based system. You can launch admin applications from the menu with Orca support, although the installer, partitioner and restore bootloader applications will only work on the Live CD. You can however run admin applications at any time by using 'sudo' on the Live CD or 'su' once installed. There are lots of customised keystrokes to make opening applications easy and Vinux now features a completely new desktop layout which provides partially sighted users simple one click access to common applications and makes maximum use of the width and depth of the screen. You can read the full release announcement here: http://vinux-development.blogspot.com/ - This is beta release and while I expect most applications to work there may well be issues with hardware compatibility and I would appreciate any feedback on hardware which is/is not supported in the hope I will be able to fix this before the final release.
