I want to get a Unix style keyboard for my computer. I've used some Sun computers at my uni and like the layout of the keyboards. I've searched ebay and found a couple of the Suns. Does any one know where I can find a better section of Unix style keyboards?

If you cannot find it on net, search your local hardware. Get the business model number you want and used it as a reference in the search.

Sun's like the only company who actually sells those...Unicomp has some (called linux layout) but they are different than Sun's. Also the happy hacking keyboard is the Sun style layout.

Here's a pic of my Type6 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v104/enthauptet/bin/type6.jpg)

The sound buttons work as well as the help button, forgot if the copy and paste ones do, I don't think they did, but it'd probably be easy to fix that. Here (http://www.haynold.com/software_projects/2005/suntype6.html) is a page with some info...for linux
