Animesh Nerurkar (Goa) demos Adriane Knoppix

Adriane Knoppix is a variation that is intended for blind and visually impaired people, which can be used entirely without vision oriented output devices. It was released in the third quarter of 2007 as a Live CD. Adriane Knoppix is named after Adriane Knopper, the wife of Klaus Knopper, the developer of Knoppix. Adriane has a visual impairment, and has been assisting Klaus with the development of the software. The name Adriane is also a backronym for "Audio Desktop Reference Implementation And Networking Environment".Adriane Knoppix is intended not only for the blind but also for beginners who dont know much about computers. It uses the SUSE Blinux screen reader with a phoneme generator and speech engine for normal output.

ademas de ser una muy buena distro esta hecha preferencialmente sencilla para invidentes y personas con problemas visuales, es una distro realmente recomendable...

I love this program when you need to get at a broken OS's hard drive.. a lot better than running with Ubuntu and trying to mount that busted OS yourself (soo many issues you could run into!) Adriane can drive you up the wall but simple to turn off if you remember to.. lol!
