any server will be easier by using the terminal even in windows that is command line or windows power shell commands. ubuntu mate is the easiest to load, set up and use to get going quickly.

Re: windows server os

just use ubuntu mate. its free and you can install it without assistance. if you are just using it for a server it will work fine as far as accessibility goes.

Hi
I have been using it for many years and it is perfectly accessible. Among its many configuration settings there are specific accessibility settings. Kind regards

Re: NVDA Audio Themes Add On
You know, it's really becoming beyond frustrating to give those asking for help direct links to the download pages for the things needed only to have those be ignored.
I already offered the direct link to the Add-Ons Documentation add-on, which is right there, again, and to the NVDA Audio Themes package file: audiothemes-6.0b2.nvda-addon I've installed both, and tested every blessed thing I've mentioned. It's time that you, Bhanu, did the same. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Power is being told you're not loved and not being destroyed by it. ~ Madonna

Hello
UltraEdit has a very good hex editing
feature and many other powerful editing functions. This is a real
programmer's or techie's editor. But it is not free. I think it
costs around $60. I have it and do things with it that I have not
been able to do in other editors I have worked with. Notepad++
comes closest, but it doesn't offer hex editing.
Kind regards
Christo

I always thought of a hex editor as something that can edit binary files rather than something that works with colours. I could be wrong though. Cheers, Damien.

Re: Any accessible hex editors for screen reader users?

Hi, What do you mean a hex editor? Are you looking for something that converts RGB, CMY/CMYK, and YIQ color definitions into hex values, or are you looking for a full featured color wheel? Without some programming/math experience, I don't know of any accessible hex editors/color wheels. However, I am working on a hex editor/color wheel, of which a portion will be used in my add-on called Developer toolkit. If you have any specifics you want to talk about, get me off list.

Hi To check what version of NVDA is running, press NVDA+n to open the NVDA menu then press t followed by v to view the NVDA log. The second line of the log file tells you what NVDA version is currently loaded.

Hi, If you tell NVDA to remind you later, it will remind you of an update later. Technical: the following goes into how NVDA update actually takes place (a bit geeky): The NVDA updater component will check for, download, and apply NVDA updates. This is divided into the following parts:

Re: server software in general
Hi,

There are other ways to control Windows Update, namely telling Windows 10 Pro and higher to not download feature updates for a year. As for coming up with doing all sorts of other things given physical distancing, the only suggestion/advice I can offer is perhaps taking a break. I found out the hard way that you won't get far if you suddenly think of many magical things to do all at once, as it overwhelms a person's mind. Thinking about doing something to keep you occupied is a noble thing up to a point - just as humans need time to do work, humans need time to rest. Cheers, Joseph

Re: windows server os
Hi,

When installing Server 2016 and later, you'll be offered to install: * Windows Server year: Server Core (command-line driven, limited GUI, provides all server features) * Windows Server year Desktop Experience: Server Core along with full Windows user interface and feel (best suited for remote access or app server) Once you make a choice, there is no going back without a clean install. Windows Server is useful if you need to create and manage a domain or need to become familiar with Windows Server technologies such as Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Active Directory (Domain Services, Certificate Services, domain controller management, rights management and many others), System Center suite (Configuration Manager, Virtual Machine Manager, etc.), server-side Hyper-V, Windows Server containers, and in case of one variant, server-side cloud infrastructure (Nano Server, only available to businesses through Software Assurance which isn't cheap (thousands of dollars)). A base Windows Server 2019 Standard license costs at least 800 dollars, and Windows Server 2019 Datacenter costs at least 3000 dollars; more users and devices managed by a server means more costs (called Client Access Licenses or CAL's). As I said, if you want to learn to manage Active Directory or need to use Windows Server technologies in a job setting, I advise staying away from Windows Server. Cheers, Joseph P.S. I use Windows Server Insider Preview builds when I need to test next Windows 10 LTSC builds, which is rare.

However server 2012 is quite an old bit of software and views online seem a bit hit and miss with some saying everyone should go nas. My plan was to fiddle with a dedicated server for say virtual machines, testing of software including insider windows tests, thunderbird tests, etc, also a media server and a something to experiment with the wsus system.
