<\/a><\/p>\nTuxType typing game<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
I love to blog. I love writing about things that interest me and, hopefully, readers will find informative and entertaining. My big downfall in all this, though, is neglecting the typing skills I learned in high school.<\/p>\n
\n
Even though I learned how to type, over the years, I’ve fallen back on the \u201cHunt and Peck\u201dmethod of typing. I find myself looking at the keyboard to find the keys. I glance at the screen only occasionally to see where I am am in the sentence or paragraph. And, I find myself having to spellcheck what I just typed. I probably spellcheck and correct my writing more so than most folks who use traditional typing skills.<\/p>\n
\n
But, this is going to change over time.<\/p>\n
\n
Thanks to Linux, there are many typing tutorials available for me, you,\u00a0 and kids of all ages. These programs can help hone and improve your typing skill.<\/p>\n
\n
One such program is called TuxTyping<\/a>. I stumbled on this program while looking for a typing tutorial in my Linux repository. I installed it and gave it a whirl. Don’t be fooled by the cartoony look of this game. It’s challenging! But it’s also fun to play and you’ll be improving your typing skills.<\/p>\n \n TuxTyping has typing lessons, different challenge levels, game variations, and a very intuitive and easy to use interface. The kids will love it.<\/p>\n \n I’ve played it and I’m hooked! I’ll be combining this game with other \u201clearn to type\u201d software to improve my typing skills.<\/p>\n \n The great thing is, all this software is available with Linux.\u00a0 Simply download this wonderful OS,<\/a> install to your computer, and you’ll have access to hundreds of software titles. And all are free.<\/p>\n \n
