Considering to switch to dvorak layout, but this terminal is used by multi users as the same user account. It is unacceptable to ask all people to switch layout, plus it is hard to use dvorak layout with a keyboard qwerty-ly labeled.

But there are spare (USB,qwerty) keyboards, so if I plug another keyboard in and be able to use multi layouts on different psyical keyboard simultaneously (I will rearrange letters on keys), the problem get solved.

solution for either windows or linux is fine. anyway thanks all.

To those who were experienced ( 70 WPM, say) typists before the switch to Dvorak -- were you faster after switching?
