Hello, Sean.
William is right, most Mac's have a 'normal' keyboard + I'm running
Ubuntu 8.10 on an old 15" flat-screen G4 iMac quite happily. The only
keyboard-related problem I have is that the Mac cursor keys produce
different escapes than the PC keys when using NX, so I have to be
careful if I suspend an NX session running from a PC then resume the
session from NX running on a Mac...
Anyone else running 8.10 on a PowerPC Mac?
Bye,
Tony.
