Hey there, all,
 	I tried the newest release, and have had little/no success with 
it.  The install script doesn't run when I click on it and my computer 
freezes up.  Also, running orca from console 1 told me it couldn't find 
the display or something like tat, and/or told me that watchdog detected 
something bad, and running it from within Gnome didn't produce *anything*. 
Someone over on the gnome-accessibility list, I think it was, suggested 
that some of my issues stemmed from the fact that I only had a PC with 
433 mhz and 160 MB of ram, and had suggested I try Xubuntu.  However, I 
haven't seemed to have much luck getting accessibility going on that.  So 
my questions are these: (1) *Can* I get Ubuntu up and running on my system 
even if it does only have 160 MB of ram?  (2) If Xubuntu would be a 
solution for an old PC like this one, how would I get it accessible?  and 
(3) What *is* the best option for such a PC as I've described?  I've been 
using Oralux as my main distro, but there's things that Oralux can't do 
that I'd need X to accomplish.

Thanks,
Terrence
