HI

Hi can you tell me what is Tux-typing? Is it just normal typing or is it something else?

it is a typing tutor software application. It is kind of a game that helps children to learn where the keys on the keyboard are. Not really a touch-typing tutor, it is aimed at younger kids.

Tux-Typing seems to be a fun way for children to learn how to type.  It does assume that you will know where to place your fingers before starting to type, but will give kids the confidence to use a keyboard easily and adopt good posture whilst doing so, which are the key features of a typing tutor. (sorry no pun intended).

It is an open-source typing tutor program. It is available for Linux, MacOSX and Windows. It uses a game scenario to help kids (and adults!) to learn to type. You can get it from:
