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.
