I would like to highlight that point too :)

I've installed a linux on a friend's computer, and wasn't able to
explain him how he was supposed to use the braille device (a pm-el_40s),
since I didn't even know how to activate the help menu or learn mode.

Setting braille preferences (6 points for instance) was hence tricky: I
had to run brltty with the XWindow driver, set preferences there, save,
and copy the file to brltty-pm.prefs.  Not particularly handy :)
