I have a friend who is vision impaired. He recently got enough of
his
sight back to begin working on his systems again, and is interested in
setting his servers up on Fedora 18. His last version was 10 (long
storage in between).
Is there a site, blog or tutorial that would be easy for him to use with
a screen reader or would have it broken down as a series of steps to
help him get going (I know nothing of server setups now, so I cannot
offer much help.)
Among the things he mentioned was:
Web manager.
Reverse DNS.
Unfortunately we were driving and I couldn't take coherent notes
in this context i would not recommend Fdora for a server because it
has a limited release-lifetime and you have two options twice a year
* re-install
* dist-upgrade
re-install is not much funny and a dist-upgrade with rely on a
screen reader maybe also not because sometimes a lot of changes
which i personally would not want to take care of in this siutation
in this conext i would recommdn CentOS6 which has security updates
for arund 10 years, the backside is that you can't have major
upgrades of software for a specific release and a dist-upgrade
is mre or less impossible because the changes are too much
