[I include Daniele Venzano <venza@libero.it> because he once provided italian data and po file for tipptrainer and might be interested. Daniele, for a history of this discussion see Debian bug tracking system at http://bugs.debian.org/310817 ] On Mon, 30 May 2005, Finn-Arne Johansen wrote:

Are there alternatives for this program which are actively maintained?I'm aware of ktouch for practicing touch typing, but have never tried tipptrainer so I do not know if it is an alternative or not.There is also tuxtype, which is not on the Sarge PreRelease cd's, but that works fine.
Could anybody do a comparison of 1. tuxtype 2. ktouch 3. tipptrainer 4. ??? regarding: a) Features b) Usability c) Upstream support According to Andreas Neudecker tipptrainer might be better than others usability-wise but I have no idea with which competitors he compared nor if others share his opinion. I see no sense in supporting a three or more programs with the same functionality but want to make sure first that we do not remove one of the best before trying to help it out of its trouble. (For me personally it would mean saving a certain amount of time to drop this package because I do not use it personally so I have no special interest in keeping it, but I just want to take over responsibility for making a sane decision.)
