Has any solution for blind to run windows under linux?

[Scott Berry]

Amen David,

Like you have already said Jaws's rendering of pages is not the natural
look and feel of the page and when you try to tell someone where to find
a link you are always way off in Jaws where as in Orca or I suppose the
Mac you can tell them right where it's at.  Also not having to use forms
mode is also a god send.  You don't have an extra keystroke there.  I am
still getting used to the regular look of a page butit's coming along
nicely.
