## 2. What the Linux Console Tools are

The Linux Console Tools are a set of programs allowing the user to setup/customize your console (restricted meaning: text mode screen + keyboard only). It is derived from version 0.94 of the `kbd` package, and has benefited from most features introduced in `kbd` until version 0.97.

The Linux Console Tools are still under development, but using it just as a replacement for `kbd` should be quite safe, at it fixes many bugs `kbd` has.
