Operate without a keyboard?


Is it possible to use Linux (I'm using MDK10 with KDE 3.2) without a keyboard? What I mean is, can I access a virtual keyboard so I can "type" with the mouse?


As far as I know, this feature is available in Windows XP, is there a Linux equivalent?

I recently had to use the Windows versions of a virtual keyboard. I was out of town and my laptop fried. Here is what I found that I thought might be good if your up for using Gnome instead of KDE.
Its called GOK and won the "Free Software Award" from France in 2003.
