That's fine so long as you're happy using an American keyboard. Frankly
that'd drive me nuts; the at-symbol where double-quotes should be, hash
where the pound sign should be, double-quotes where the at-symbol should
be, and the pound sign nowhere to be found.

I use Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1520. It's wonderful.
