You are right Paul, my mistake. On 2001 I was testing Red Hat, and I'm
using Ubuntu from 2004 / 2006.

With the keyboard I haven't any problems, but with some games, yes :)

I try it Paul! But you have not idea of how hard is to Evangelize people to
use SCM or DVCS tools (take a look at this thread
<https://www.universalthread.com/DataEntryThreadView.aspx?ID=1602215&LXMenu=2>
on Universal Thread). Some people still stay with VSS and some people use
zip copies!!
