[HOW TO] turn on NumLock when login Linux

Do you think it is convenient to turn on NumLock when you logon the system?

I used MS Windows for a long time and switched to Linux for about two years. In MS Windows, Numlock is already turned on when I logon. While in Linux, Numlock by default is off and I need to press numlock key before using key pad(but I always forget :-))

I searched this problem in Google and found a good program called NumLockX. You can install it through yum or apt-get

To install NumLockX using yum

yum install numlockx

To install NumLockX using apt-get

sudo apt-get install numlockx
