Ok thanks for your help. I guess I am going to download Raspbian. but what do i do after that lol. im not very good at sudo commands and such idk anything about the cmd line in linux systems. how do you even open a program if you have no mouse hooked up? let alone use the cmd line lol

You may be best getting to your local computer store or ebay and picking up a cheap usb keyboard with mouse pad intergrated. It'll only take up 1 usb slot on your hub then.  Oh and make sure you have an external mains powered hub as the pi won't be able to provide enough juice. I just followed the thread I posted previously in regards to setting up my antminers and compiling cg miner.  Read through the whole thread though so you avoid the issues that other people encountered and if you do encounter a problem then double check your spelling as you most probably have just typed a line in wrong.  This happened to me a couple of times.  Don't worry about messing it up either because worst case scenario is you just delete your memory card, reinstall raspian software and go again.  I'm not sure about your bit fury so you'll probably have to search the forums a bit but I would imagine there are some posts on this site to help you with that.   

I had never used linux commands before either but don't let it worry you.  You will learn from your mistakes and pick it up quickly.
