In the late 1996 my friend talled me that there is a nice "Unix" for PC? I thought it might be interesting experience since I was administering some Solaris and Irix at that moment. It was Slackware (dont't remember the version but I'm pretty sure the kernel was pre 1.0) installed from a broken CD, which resulted in many packages not installed or installed not properly. It kept dumping core every couple of commands and overall experience was not very pleasant. However a couple of weeks later I gave it a second try. Downloaded most recent version of Slackware from sunsite (it took me more than one night over a modem;) and installed. Now it was kinda working. The ethernet card was not detected (it took me couple more days to solve it) yet I liked it so much that after so many years I'm stick to Slackware...:)
Does anyone know where I could get a real, original, plain 101 qwerty keyboard? Without those annoying (to say the least) windows keys?
I'm used to hit the spacebar with my right thumb and microsoft keys destroyed my ability to utilize keyboard. I have a a number of old keybords with DIN plug, which I connect through DIN->PS2 and PS2->USB converters but I'm afraid it won't run with next generation interface.
Does anyone out in the world produce the real, 101 keyboard with USB connector?!?!?
