Mer is based on Jaunty, I believe -- but until it supports a USB keyboard at the command prompt, it is unusable as-is. I crashed out several times with recent builds, and all you can do is reboot. Kinda sucks.

If you know how to get Jaunty onto these, and you can explain it, you'd be a hero. You'd be my hero if you figure out how to get a keyboard working in Mer.

Sorry I'm just a veteran linux tweaker and not a coder. I'll leave that to the much more capable folks at Mer.
