introduction and question

[Timothy Emmons]

Hi guys, a quick introduction and a question that I'm stumped with. I am Timothy Emmons in Alabama. I've been using computers and adaptive technology for quite a while, as I am totally blind. I'm going to the linox system here at home and getting away from windows, I've had a lot of issue with windows. Since the switch to the Mac at the office I work for the library for the blind, and seeing what other operating systems  are out there and seeing the built in accessibility it has caught my attention. i used Ubuntu briefly a year or two ago and got away from it but have been drawn back to it and have it installed on a del netbook mini10. Now to my question. I can't for the life of me figure out how to connect wirelessly using Ubuntu. I use Orca so not sure of the keyboard commands to get the network manager up to find a wireless connection much less how to get it up and going. I'm also having trouble reading the documentation within ubuntu itself when I
 click on certain spots it dfoesn't seem to load and I'm a little confused. I need some general help and would appreciate any I can get. I want this switch to be a good one, who knows I may even leave the Apple products alone as well and go strictly to linux, I like the look of it and know it works if I can just get my head around it. I've done windows for quite a while, and just starting to get into linux and the Mac so any help here with Ubuntu and possibly with Orca would be greatly appreciated. I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 on the netbook currently. Thanks and take care.
