I’m thinking about getting a US keyboard as this will be closer to the OSX keyboard thus making it less annoying for me to having to think where double-quotes and tilde are, as for now at least I’m probably going to continue using OSX at work until I can get to a good point to make it into the world’s most expensive ubuntu laptop.

I’ve recently switched to using Ubuntu full-time as my primary operating system having previously used Macs for the last 4+ years. Moving over to ubuntu has been easy enough, I bought a lenovo R61 which has extremely good compatibility with Ubuntu out of the box. I’ve had very few issues except for an a smaill problem with the brightness control and an intermittant problem with X using 100% CPU when screensavers are activated. Though I’ve found simple enough workarounds for both issues.
