Amusingly, I've been getting back into ubuntu after a 10+ yer hiatus while standing up a home entertainment network.  I've been so far pleased with how well a cheap logitech wireless keyboard / trackpad combo has worked.  Input devices are about as basic as it gets.  


Its the bells and whistles that make the bike unroadworthy these days.

Get back to jamming F4 old man.

I went with the least loaded amount from debian I could manage. I'd prefer a lot less stuff in it, but the installation fixed my problems. I'm kind of getting to the point I'm leaning towards a minimalist installation with just the essentials I need for everyday tasks, email, file management, browser, maybe a decent text editor and a burner.. The rest of the junk I rarely if ever use. The only reason i ever used wireless stuff is to not have to deal with wires wrapped around everything, but that's been an issue I've had to deal with all my life. There are worse thing I've had to deal with in my 60+ years on this planet than to many wires.
