Wubi typing practice program for Linux/Ubuntu

[Southernjohn]

I have been using a great typing practice program for Wubi on my Windows OS but I would like to find one for Ubuntu. I have really looked but haven't found anything yet. Anybody out there know of something?

Thanks a lot,

What great Windows practice program are you using?

The great Windows practice program I use (don't know if its the same one) is 五笔快打.

I'm not sure if the one Imron posted is the same as the one I have been using. Actually I doubt it.. mine seems to be loaded with bad stuff, like wanting to open up a browser, virus, etc. I only put up with it because I am confident of my hard drive partition and I do like the program... I have been progressing well. But for the above reasons I won't post a link here. Imron has always seemed to be a trustworthy repository of wubi info, so go for his link.

But anyway.. no linux programs out there? Hmm too bad. I could try running something in WINE but....

thanks,

I've not really heard of much in the way of Wubi practice programs for Linux, and the one I linked to above for Windows doesn't work under Wine. If you can, I would tough it out using Windows for a short time until you are comfortable with the logic of Wubi, and then just switch to typing news articles or whatever from the web. Copy a paragraph and open it in OpenOffice (or some other WP/editor), and then then practice typing the same paragraph out below it. Then lather, rinse, repeat.

There is another one which does work under WINE, but given the amount of pain needed to get WINE working happily with GB2312-encoded programs, you'd be better off installing a virtual machine and a cracked copy of Windows XP...

The other problem I had was that it didn't like my dual-monitor setup (on Linux) and spread itself across both. Not cool.
