[NTLUG:Discuss] USB Keyboards (again)

[G S]

I realize this is late but I have been using a USB keyboard for a while now
with no probs.   Maybe I am too dumb to notice.   I realize you super 
techie types dont like Mandrake but those of us who just want a Distro 
that works are happy with it.  My PS2 KB died about 3 weeks ago and I 
had 3 USBs laying around and tried it and works fine.   Not thrilled 
with the KB layout but thats neither here nor there.

I hope this web mail thing Wraps, I don't want any more flaming on that.
