As I have written in the past, I am not a Linux lover. But I do occasionally try to use it, just to see what the fuss is about. Normally, I am very disappointed. Yesterday, I tried two new (to me) versions with mixed results. These are Elementary OS and Accessible Coconut. I wrote reviews of both here. Note that in each case, my experience has been preliminary. I have not delved deeply into either of them. If nothing else, the paragraph in which I explain the general problems with Linux and the blind is very much worth reading, particularly for those who think that Linux, of any variety, is the answer to everything. It's not, and such people need to learn this.

I intend to write more about Accessible Coconut once I have used it more, but the problem of shared folders and removable drives still remains, and if I cannot solve it satisfactorally, it will severely hinder both my opinion of, and my productivity with, this system.
