I type with a point stick, use a custom trackball, and use Dragon
NaturallySpeaking (developer edition). To this end, I have set up a custom
vncserver on my primary Linux system so that I can use the disability
features of Windows to my Linux box. I also used extensively SSH terminals
to all my *nix systems.
Now many people will point out that all of these features are available
either through the window manager or X itself, however after attempting to
use these I discovered that they are not implemented very well and I
consider them very buggy.
Perhaps one day I will see a lot of effort put into Linux to support these
features better. I will change over then. =P
Long live Linux!
