openSUSE Accessibility gets an upgrade
Well, it has now been more than two days since openSUSE 11.0 was officially released. And like many others in the community, I am quite happy with the success of the fruits of hard labor by the openSUSE developers, community and supporters in making openSUSE better than ever. And it really is!
As many of you may know, I have a strong interest in improving the accessibility of openSUSE. Whether you can see, whether you can hear, how you can manipulate a keyboard or mouse shouldn’t diminish your ability to use openSUSE and get the full experience. And openSUSE stepped up to the plate in ways I didn’t even expect. No, that doesn’t mean openSUSE has finally perfected the golden accessible distro, as there’s always work to be done in that arena. But for myself, as a low-vision user, many of my issues were definitely addressed.
Before we get into the gem that I’ve stumbled across, I should mention one other new feature added to openSUSE. You can now get an audio version of the openSUSE installer. Simply press F9 during the installation process and voila, you can hear the installer.
