From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

adding to the trackball love and specifically this thumbball type. I do hate that I can't get a wired. Turned my wife on to them. Great for anyone who is clutter inclined and does not want a device moving around.
Check out ploopy trackballs. They have a wired thumb track ball.

They do use an optical sensor... PMW 3360.
