Hello all, I just joined this list because I am considering switching to Debian as my main OS (currently running Windows and cygwin). Being visually impaired, I need both full screen magnification and speech output in French and English.
I have two questions at the moment: 1) are there good quality French voices available for free or not too expensive? Which screen readers can use them? 2) how much RAM would you recommend to run GNOME and Orca comfortably on a laptop? My vendor says 3 GB is plenty, can you confirm this? Thanks for your help. I will probably have more questions later :) Nicolas
