Hi, |

I've recently been struck with the inclination to set up a Windows virtual |
4 |
machine on my Linux box to serve as a secondary system if my work Windows |
5 |
laptop isn't handy or is (hoping this doesn't happen) out of commission. But |
6 |
hey, it _is_ Windows we're talking about. |

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any good accessible options for remote |
9 |
desktop clients that will work with Orca. |
10 |
|
11 |
If that can't be done, I can always get sighted assistance installing the |
12 |
VM, then install Window-Eyes or Jaws and, assuming that Pulseaudio is doing |
13 |
its thing through my inaccessible remote desktop client, should still be |
14 |
able to fully use the system. But it'd be nice to be able to do the |
15 |
installation and get to the point where I can install my Windows screen |
16 |
reader, if that's even necessary. |
17 |
|
18 |
If it makes a difference, I've decided to go with Virtualbox for my |
19 |
virtualization platform. After past experience with Xen which is pretty |
20 |
heavy weight and intrusive, Virtualbox has so far been refreshing to work |
21 |
with in its lack of taking over the system and simplicity for setup. I only |
22 |
hope I don't discover that this means poorer performance as a result. :) |

Thanks for any wisdom, |
