With so little ram and speed I would recommend forgetting about Ktouch or even
running X for that matter.

Take a look at gtypist.

A great writer named Neal Stephenson said that America does four things
better than any other country in the world: rock music, movies, software
and high-speed pizza delivery. All of these are sacred American art forms.
