Introduction
About a year ago, I felt a need to try linux on my PC. I was unhappy with the direction that Microsoft was going and had a desire to move on from the Windows operating system. So, I downloaded and burned an Ubuntu 12.04 image onto a DVD and tried out the live feature. I was able to get orca, (the free screenreader that shipped with Ubuntu) running with a keystroke and I played around with it. When I felt the limitations of the live environment, mainly the slow loading speeds, (the live environment runs directly from the DVD), I decided to install it.
