Hi all,

In addition to my network admin duties....deploying laptops (I'm in
Maine), and all the linux stuff I do....I also teach  :-)  Anyway, this
year we're piloting a fifth grade typing program first thing every
morning.  We're currently using KTouch and I like it especially since I
can program in the lessons.  BUT....I'd liek to have a little variety. 
GTypist is out of the question....uses WAY too much CPU and is cludgy for
5th graders.  I'm wondering if anyone knows of any other typing tutors
...preferably Open Source (and free) or at least VERY low cost.  It needs
to run on our K12LTSP server and terminals.  Any thoughts appreciated.
