status of orca on latest ubuntu

[Christopher Chaltain]

Ubuntu 12.04, the current Long Term Stable (LTS) release is accessible. 
You can install it by starting Orca with the control+s keystroke after 
you hear the drums during boot up.

Another option is vinux 4 from http://vinuxproject.org/ This is also 
based on Ubuntu 12.04 but Orca will come up automatically during boot 
up. Speakup also works in the console and a few other accessible 
applications  and useful tweaks have been included for the blind user.
