Keymaps on Linux

The most important pieces of information when using sane qwerty keyboards in a world ruled by crazy Azerty, espe cially on Consoles is

    loadkeys us
    setxkbmap -layout us

Or for British qwerty,

    loadkeys gb
    setxkbmap -layout gb

Of course you still have to type a password to login first on a console :( Now off you go and enjoy some sanity and calm while you work.

Some times this works!
