The first thing that I did when I needed to access the Internet through one of the PCs in the PC Pool of RWTH Aachen is to transform the German keyboard to an English keyboard. This is usually the first thing that people do when they are faced with foreign keyboards that their fingers are not accustomed to. The operating system used in each of the PCs in the PC Pool is GNU/Linux Debian 4.0.
