I've been using gtypist to learn dvorak, and I'm making progress. I've
got the home and upper rows pretty much under control, and I'm working
on the lower row. gtypist doesn't always give complete instructions, so
I'm benefiting (I hope) from Russel's advice, and I have a PNG image of
the keyboard (taken from wikikpedia, before I saw the 'xkbprint'
command explained on the list recently ...) to show me where the keys
are.
