PS/2 ports are actually kind of cool. I beleive you could also get a PS/2 splitter to use, say, a mouse and keyboard on just one port. USB kind of replaced it (windows refuses to hotswap mice, for example, and my techie windows-poweruser roommate insists that he's never been able to hotplug keyboards either, unless they were attached when the computer booted, although i'm almost positive he's wrong) and is supported a lot better, but - no surprise - linux is flexible. -- [email protected] mailing list
