27/06/2011 - Vinux 3.2 cutting edge released.
I am happy to announce the release of Vinux 3.2 based on Ubuntu 11.04. this is a cutting edge release featuring the latest versions of Orca (3.1.2-xdesktop) and Speech-Dispatcher (0.8~2784+13~maverick1) from the daily build repos. This version is available as CD and DVD in both 32 and 64 bit editions. The DVD version provides the same software as the CD but with the addition of libreoffice and some non-free multimedia codecs etc. The default desktop is Classic Gnome 2.x but Unity is available from the GDM login screen if your video card supports 3D. This release includes the Pico TTS voices in addition to Espeak, the Epiphany Internet Browser and built-in keybindings to quickly organise multiple windows with x-tile. It also features some new packages including Orca-Teacher, Talking Clock and CDBurn. This version also plays a system bell when the isolinux boot screen appears allowing you to select different boot options including an experimental 'toram' mode. There is also a Vinux 3.2 PLUS edition which features lots of extra packages for partially sighted users:
I have managed to fit more text tools on the CD edition including: sox gpm screen, splitvt, figlet, cmatrix, txt2html, html2text, pdf2svg, pstotext, units mc, trash-cli, vrms, dict, sc, htop, linuxinfo, w3m, elinks-lite, urlview, finch, axel, calcurse, tdl.
Known Bugs:
Selecting the Cicero speech synth will crash Orca and you will have to run: orca -t to reset everything back to the way it was. So do not select Cicero.
The x-tile keybinding to 'quad' tile open windows was set to 'win+alt+v' by accident - to correct this open the keyboard shortcuts manager and re-assign it to 'win+alt+q' - then the vertical tile option will work as well (win+alt+v).
