Microsoft mouse + Keyboard Linux Drivers

[Gibbs]

Am thinking of putting linux onto a 2nd HD but want to make sure my mouse/keyboard will work with it.

Mouse: Natural Wireless 6000
Keyboard: Natural Ergonomice 6000

Anyone got links for drivers or anything

Why not give it a go? You could try one of the many "Run from a DVD" distros first.

I haven't tried the MS 'Natural' devices you refer to, but I haven't had any problem with KVM switches, PS2 or USB Wired or Wireless keyboards, including USB, Wireless keyboards and mice from Logitech.

Do please post the result here

They'll work, as in let you type and move your mouse. You'll have to do some config file editing though in order to get some of the special features working
