It's now in the ubuntu 6.10 beta, and works straight from the live cd[burn and put it in , reboot, press alt f2, enter orca , press enter, and orca launches, asks you a few questions, and then promply crashed on me, when I tried to restart it after the logout, log in proccess]. It's beta, so I'm happy enough to get any speech what soever on linux. What will be more exciting is when orca supports more and more of the various linux apps, sutch as the remote support, vnc or whatever they call it, dont' know off the top of my head, and of course gtk apps like gaim, etc. It's not turning me away from windows just yet, but give it some time, and you may see many ppl switching, and not just for open office support eather.
