Linux users in German-speaking countries and the U.K. will have an opportunity to buy keyboards specially designed for the open source operating system in late September, when Cherry GmbH launches what the company claims is the world's first Linux keyboard.

The Cherry CyMotion Master Linux keyboard shows the Linux penguin logo, known as Tux, on what would be the Windows start key of a Microsoft Corp. keyboard and features 29 "hot keys" configured for the Linux operating system and Linux desktop applications, according to Cherry Marketing Director G

Awesome. I'm surely to import this from either Germany or the UK.

"keyboard comes with a CD including a special edition of SuSE Linux 9.1"
YEAH!  go SuSE!  but when will it come to ca na da?  i wish they had some pictures of how the keyboard might look.

"keyboard and features 29 "hot keys" configured for the Linux operating system"
when i read that, i closed my eyes and imagined how the keyboard will look.  and i liked what i saw.

EDIT:  holy mother of all things freaking good!  it looks even better than i imagined it to be!

I wouldn't mind distributing this keyboard locally (U.S., Canada, Mexico) if somebody could figure out the excises on it so I can figure out a cost margin to bring it over prematurely.
   :cool:  

EDIT: Of course, it couldn't hurt to have a business partner in Britain, either.

EDIT 2: Actually, get me their contact information, I want them to know that they have a fully willing distributor on the West Coast.
