try with debian : no software need , most fn key recognize by gnome without problem -lrb- music\/media player key be map to tool -rrb- . the back and forward key be quite useful for browse . the keyboard feel a little smaller than regular keyboard , but feel quite comfortable typing . I use vim quite often recently and the smaller keyboard make it easy to reach the ESC key . the only complain I have for this combo be the mouse . I know it be a simple mouse -lrb- without fast scroll and extra button -rrb- , but I do not expect to feel friction when scroll the wheel and even hear noise . it also do not support left\/right scroll .
