My understanding was that when there were both purple and aqua sockets on the motherboard you "probably" had an actual PS/2 connection, but when there is a single purple/aqua mini-DIN6 socket you are almost certainly getting a converted USB connection.
Not that it matters, I haven't gotten a 2-socket motherboard in a decade or more, but I have at least a couple of old boxes that would probably happily run a light Linux distro if I ever get around to it.

“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48
