I basically realised I needed to learn how to touch type, and given I had (mild) problems with RSI I thought Dvorak might alleviate (or at least not worsen) the symptoms. I haven't had any problems with RSI in the past 2 years for what it's worth. Generally speaking, people don't seem to notice big speed increases when switching from Qwerty to Dvorak, but appreciate the increase in comfort. That would certainly echo my experience. @David Hi, I didn’t know how to touch-type before switching over to Dvorak, so it wouldn’t really be a fair comparison.

I've considered giving it a try but I imagine it would be pretty difficult to go between the two. Has your Qwerty speed decreased as you improve at Dvorak?

I'm a ways behind you, just starting to learn Dvorak and having to use Qwerty still on a daily basis. I've been touch-typing Qwerty for 25 years and work in IT, so I don't really have any chance of switching "cold". Anyway, here is the site I've been using to train, hope it helps someone... http://learn.dvorak.nl/ Just wanted to say thinks for the Linux tips.
