Have you ever used on of those keyboards b4? How is it? Does it take long to get used to? It looks like a nice thing and i am wondering if it is worth buying

It will be wierd at first, makes you type like a newbie with one finger, due to the keys being in different positions.  But once you get used to it, you can type faster and also this gives you the benefit of not developing RSI as much because your fingers are traveling less.

If you wanted you can change your keyboard layout (in linux or windows) right now and get a marker pen to write over your keys or buy some stickers.  Saving you money.

Well i am a newbie to linux and so, i use SuSE.  So the only ways I KNOW HOW would be at installation or in the control panel  or with the update hardware panel thingy.

Sorry.
