Bug

I use the mouse, but thats because I use Windows most because my Wi-Fi card has horrid Linux support ( BCM4312 ) and I haven't been able to convince my school to get a Linux-based system. Also, C#.

When I use Linux, I use the GUI for the network manager and browse teh interwebz. Otherwise, I use BASH

It all depends what you will be using if for. A keyboard if you will be typing a lot and mouse if you're just surfing. In order to be most productive you need both cause you can't type something with a mouse only.

The broadcom-sta driver doesn't support it? I've always had good luck with it. In gentoo, anyway. In binary-only distros where you can't configure the kernel to its needs, it's broken more often than not. (It's weird how that ended up; I tried the fancy detect-everything-for-you distro, Ubuntu, and very little except graphics worked. It couldn't even turn the laptop off. Gentoo worked with most things first try, and things that didn't, could be fixed.)

Wow. I have changed a lot since last year. I use keyboard shortcuts so much (Winkey+d, alt+tab, alt+arrow keys in google chrome for navigation, alt+f+o for opening, alt+f+x for closing, alt+f+s for save).

I even use ALT+F+S instead of CTRL+S because of DOS.
