I thought that since there was games on the distro, why not a typing program. There are a couple in Windows for Blind users, like Talking Typing Teacher, and Type-Ability. But an accessible Linux-based typing program would be useful, and help the Blind to type. The Blind need typing skills more than the sighted do, because we cannot really "hunt and peck". So although I don't know of any typing programs for Linux, I thought someone might know.

Just saying "a typing program" isn't very helpful. They could just run nano and type in a text editor. I know I'm missing something here, but how does this apply to a live/rescue CD? I guess you could have your clients boot the CD every time they want to practice typing, but wouldn't it be better to install a regular distro on a hard drive? I appreciate the suggestion, but I don't understand. Please explain further.
