With the PS2 keyboard you can remap them in the preferences. Just
for fun, I picked up an ancient IBM keyboard at a university surplus
auction, vintage PC XT or earlier. It doesn't even have a windows
key or an option key, just Control and Alt. Since I only really use
the Command key, and to the lesser extent the Option key, I changed
the mapping of alt (it's next to the space bar) to command and the
control to option. Works good for me. And I love the touch.

OK so I will probably be getting a Microsoft keyboard or using
a PS2
keyboard. Obviously there is no command key. So I couldnt say,
boot into single

this Microsoft
keyboard would be a permanent solution. Is there a way to get all
the
important functionality of a Mac keyboard with a PC keyboard?
The command key on the Mac maps to the Windows key on the PC
keyboard. All the keys are there it's just that the command/option
combo is swapped around. So you hold down the Windows key-s to get
into Single-user mode.
Here's a MacWorld article on the subject <http://tinyurl.com/cofpz>
