Hi Jane,

any chance of using a decent mail client in the future? The one you’re
currently using doesn’t seem to properly support quoting, and that fact
makes it really difficult to follow the conversation.

(There’s a great one called mutt you can install on your NanoNote, if
 you decide you want to configure USB Ethernet after all ;)

The standard way you configure the keyboard layout on Debian is by
editing the /etc/default/keyboard file, and changing XKBVARIANT so that
the relevant line reads

        XKBVARIANT="colemak"

After a reboot, your keyboard should use the awesome Colemak layout.

I don’t know how well this will play with the special keys such as Fn,
though, so make sure to let us know how it goes.

Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
