     The Cherry CyMotion Master Linux keyboard shows the Linux penguin
logo, known as Tux, on what would be the Windows start key of a
Microsoft Corp.
    keyboard and features 29 "hot keys" configured for the Linux
operating system and Linux desktop applications, according to Cherry
Marketing Director
                                                                        Gner
Vogl.

    "We are responding to numerous requests from Linux users to design a
keyboard that gives them all the familiar features of a Windows-based
keyboard,
     such as the ability to browse the Web, check e-mail or play a CD,"
Vogl said. "We have developed the necessary drivers to provide these
features."

                                  "The keyboard will be available in a
version for German users and another for U.K. users."
