I have a couple of B2000 & B2600 machines here. With 2.4.x, i was unable to
get the USB keyboard working proper.
Problems are:
- Arrow Keys ( I have to use the number block instead)
- Special Keys like AltGr, etc.
But with 2.6.0, the USB-Keyboard worked fine without problems on a B2600, i
think 2.6.0 will also run good with USB on a B2000.
A word to 64bit:
I also tried to run a 64bit kernel(2.4.x) on the mentiond workstations. The
kernel boots well, but task's like logging in, starting new processes, etc..
was very slow. I was unable to work via ssh. But Apache was serving its
content with normal speed.
