Trying to get started

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza]

Hi.
If you install ubuntu 11.04 with the accessibility profile enabled, the
classic gnome interface will be configured as the default. To enable the
accessibility profile you need to press the f5 key in some part of the
boot. I don't remember exactly in which part, but I think that is after
choose the language.

Actually  I am using ubuntu 10.10 with orca from git repository. One
reason to not use 11.04 is the problem of the CapsLock key.
It is very simple to install orca from the git repository.
