    Announcing Vojtux: a Fedora-based accessible Linux distribution

    Description:
    Vojtch Polek has announced an unofficial effort to create a Fedora-based distribution designed
    for visually impaired users: My ultimate vision for this project is "NO
    VOJTUX NEEDED!" because
    I believe Fedora should eventually be fully accessible out of the
    box. We aren't there yet, which is where Vojtux comes in to fill the
    gap. [...] Key Features: -Speaks out of the box: When the live desktop is ready, Orca starts
    automatically. After installation, it is configured so that it starts
    on the login screen and also after logging in. -Batteries included: Comes
    with LIOS , Ocrdesktop, Tesseract,
    Audacity, and command-line tools like Git and Curl. There are also
    many preconfigured keyboard shortcuts. See the repository for instructions on getting the image.
