I don't recommend switching, but if you've done it before
and inclined to do so, open DrakConf/Control Center, choose
Hardware, then Keyboard, and choose Dvorak (US). This will
set the default keyboard to Dvorak.

If you want to switch occasionally (as I do when using my
qwerty-typing wife's computer) I switch the keyboard maps
with aliases that do the following:

  loadkeys /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/dvorak/dvorak.kmap
and
  loadkeys /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.kmap

It's equally simple to change the layout in Winsux or on a Mac.
