As a Dvorak user myself, I wish I could get our keyboarding class to  
stop being Qwerty only. Also, you can put a keyboard changer in your  
panel so that when you sit down at a student desk (or a student types  
something on yours) one click switches the keyboard to the preferred  
layout. Gnome represents the default as USA (at least here in  
Kentucky) and the other option as USA with a 2 subscript.

Does anyone have a good program that actually attempts to teach  
typing rather than simply being a drill program?
