Don't rule out hardware problems too. The fact that other people have used 
other BrailleNotes is heartening, but until _you_ use _your_ BrailleNote on 
_your_ computer you don't really know that yours works.

Since you've been on Linux for several years, that means you've got a stable 
system with which you're familiar and you can save your work (as opposed to 
a live CD).

Try things one step at a time. On that stable, familiar system, get the 
brltty tarball and install that. See if that works. Once you know you have a 
working system (no cable problems, no port problems...) then you can start 
with this esoteric live CD stuff.
