	I'm not sure what you mean here, its ridiculously simple to 
switch keyboard layouts in Linux.

	I use xmodmap and two keymaps to go from QWERTY to Dvorak with 
just a mouse click (I specifically tied it to the mouse in X in case I 
forget which one I'm on and can't open a shell and type xmodmap to 
reload the right one. I'm still learning Dvorak, and until I get 
proficient, this is the quickest way).

	In console, I just load 'loadkeys dvorak' at bootup.
