Apple Slim USB Keyboard

[Michael Tewner]

I have it set up.
Works great - Ubuntu got the volume keys set up automatically (after
selecting the keyboard type).
On the one I got (iDigital with the number pad), I often accidentally hit
the "eject" button, so I disabled it in Linux. I seem to remember a problem
with using the function keys, but I haven't used that computer in some
time...
The enter key is smaller than a standard keyboard - at least on mine. That
took some getting used to.

Keep in mind that as cool as they look, they keyboard feels different - I
still type slower and with more errors on my apple keyboard than on my
standard IBM keyboard.

Also notice that the smaller keyboard (without the number pad) has the
"ctrl" key *not* in the corner. That makes writing in terminals a tad weird
for me. The large keyboard doesn't have this problem.
