[Hudlug] switching to linux

[MICHAEL WEAVER]

With Orca seemingly being upgraded to a newer version every few weeks or 
at least Monthly, the latest version is now 1.0 and with the access to 
applications such as Gnucash I am getting more convinced about switching 
from Windows to Linux at least for home use if whoever I might end up 
working for doesn't use Linux themselves or rather will not provide a 
Linux system for me to use in a possible job.
I think the one stumbling block I have is Internet access with web browsers.
If Mozilla Firefox isn't accessable and if I have to use a text browser, 
are forms more accessable these days as there was a time when text 
Browsers couldn't cope with the things and also would a text Browser 
give me access to my account details for YBS or would it reject me 
loggin in as I would be using a browser other than Internet Explorer or 
Firefox?
At the moment I actually use Firefox in Windows as GW Micro have 
provided a script for it.
I think the only other real stumbling block for me if you like is an 
easy to use backup program, ones from the text line seem rather complex 
for a Newby and Simple Backup just stopped speaking when I tried to run 
it from the desktop when I entered the configure which was the graphical 
way of backing up files, Orca just went silent as if it crashed after I 
was asked for my password and it was only when I closed it that I seemed 
to have speech again. The Orca keystrokes from the numeric pad didn't 
work at all in Sbackup and there was no menu bar when I pressed F10.
