Hi Dave, Pia and Marion,
Thanks for helping me out.
I did not thought of Vinux. So I did a fresh install of Vinux 3.0.1 and also install Orca 3.1.1. So right now I have the stability of Lucid and the features of Maverick.

  I haven't tried all the edubuntu apps, but suspect that most are not accessible with Orca.  Most of them are very game-like.  

  I volunteer with a group of Harvard Medical School folks who install onto donated laptops and send them to orphanage schools in Latin America.  The schools have no internet and limited space, hense the laptops and notebooks.  Most of the students have no need of accessibility; it gets turned off after I do my installs.  I often use a Vinux live cd for initial testing, shredding of the hard drive, etc.  When I decide that a machine checks out, I do a regular install, with blindness profile.  After applying os updates and installing the Edubuntu meta-package, I do a final bit of testing, then pronounce the machine fit.  Donations with less than 256 mb ram get Knoppix.


  Cheers,


  Dave

    How is Orca doing in Edubuntu?

      Hi,

      I install edubuntu for similar purposes and find that Lucid or Maverick  will suffice.  


      Best,

        I need your advice because I have no knowledge about.
        We will donate a computer to a smaal organization running a house for visually impaired children and orphans. They do'nt have access to the internet.
        So the computer, of course with the help of Orca, can be a great help for education etc. and also to play some games.
        I installed Maverick and Orca 3.1.1 but can somebody confirm if this is the better choice than Lucid LTS?
        I think the computer will be used untill the hardware dies without updating in the meanwhile.
        Thanks in advance.
        Milton
