    Sweet! TONIGHT'S WOOT Saitek Executive Backlit Keyboard $19.99

    IIRC, both USB and PS/2 offer 500 mA of 5V DC power. If thats not the case, both will power my external hard drive enclosure, which probably takes more power than a lighted keyboard.

    *DEAD* Logitech Z560 at Walmart for $46 plus shipping

    I called Walmart.com 800 number (1-800-966-6546) and I was told that they would ship the product in the picture, not the one described. I was also told this is a "possible site error". Bummer. EDIT: Spelling mistakes.

    Linux: How to find out motherboard type?

    What do you mean by motherboard "type"? If you mean manufacturer or model number, I don't know how to do it from within Linux. However, I'm sure you could reboot the computer and see the model in the POST info.

    Mandrake 10 sound card detection

    When you insmoded (I love computer verbs) sb, did you get sound? Check your dmesg, and see if /dev/dsp exists.

    No sound in Mandrake 10 Community

    System sounds do not work? That *may* mean that ARTS isn't configured properly (I think you mentioned KDE up there). Try specifiying manually the sound device, probably /dev/dsp or /dev/sound/dsp.
