I miss my Avro Keyboard. I don’t mind Linux at all. Once I got Xubuntu which feel faster and then added Compiz Fusion to make it look sexy and get the awesome Virtual Desktop shortcuts everything was good. Until I wanted to type in Bangla. You know Avro Keyboard’s Phonetic entry makes life so easy that you don’t have to learn to type Bangla at all. You just try to spell out the word in Roman letters and boom! it’s there in Bangla fonts. The typed the line above in whole minute. That’s how long it took me to find all the characters. Even in the phonetic mode.

Otherwise, Xubuntu is definitely slick. After adding Compiz Fusion on top of that it really makes for a killer environment. Though trying to live on the bleeding edge software can be a bit annoying if you don’t mind living on the stable edge then the application management could not be easier than Synaptic.

Having Firefox on the environment helps further since I don’t really miss my Win32 world as much until I need to get some work done and I need to get the VPN going. Yeah.. haven’t figured that one out yet. Well all in due time.. sometime
