Good Morning, long time lurker, first time poster(I was one of the classic pre-orderers burned by the old board manufacturer who recently escaped that limbo by upgrading to a 1Ghz unit).
Anywasys, I am currently recovering from a detached retina and completely reliant on a screen reader to use my desktop computer, and would like some assistence in getting a decent blind man's set-up on my pandora. I am no stranger to Linux, having used it as my primary OS since 2005, but I am kind of new to accessibility on linux and using it on ARM devices. I am currently running Adriane Knoppix on my desktop, but its procompiled disk images fare for x86, and I would not know where to start for rebuilding it for ARM, though I assume such is within the realm of possibility. As for what I plan to use the pandora for, I am interested in using it as a portable analog for my desktop machine with the following applications in mind:
-Web browsing and listening to YouTube Videos.
-writing console applications and text-based games for both PC and Pandora(C++ is my language of choice, anno and g++ being my editor and compiler of choice).
-Using it as a portable media player, mostly for flac and .avi files.
Of course, given my vision problems, a screen reader is nessecary for me to make any use of any of it, and I would like to stay as far from a full desktop as possible.
Any help in getting me set-up would be most appreciated.
