I am anti-Windows key, so that narrows my options significantly. Plus, what is that key to the right of the space bar that looks like an arrow going into a mailbox? I see it on all the Windows keyboards, and since I like myself, I am a Mac user. What does it do?

Since I never run windows, I am simply anti-logo on the key.  I usually appreciate having the key as a meta key.  The other win key is the menu key.  I believe it acts like a right-click in windows for context menus.

Apple is also known for having OS-specific keys (open and closed apple, command key).

xsphat:
What is an open and closed Apple? is that really old school or something? And the command key is pivital in the Mac OS, so I am fine with that.

By the way, I am writing this post in Windows via Boot Camp, funny huh?

iMav, what do you run, Ubuntu?

Yep.  Old school Apple.  :)

That's what I run on my thinkpad, yes.  Gentoo has been my distro of choice for a while now...but I've grown accustomed to installing Ubuntu on my desktops out of shear laziness.  Which speaks VOLUMES about Ubuntu.  My 5 year old son could install it.  (and HAS)  :)

xsphat:
So have I, on a PowerMac G3. I run a live CD on my MacBook from time to time to get my fix, but I am thinking of getting VMWare fusion and running an install that way. I don't know how geeky I really need to be, with Mac, XP and Ubuntu on my laptop. That may be a little much. I would like to buy an older PC of some kind and run a Linux distro on it.
