Where do you want them to be? :) The traditional Unix locations are
the opposite to a std PC keyboard, i.e. Ctrl next to 'A' and CapsLock
below the LeftShift key.
In case your next question is, "How do I do that", then for X you add
(or uncomment):
XkbOptions "ctrl:swapcaps"
in the Keyboard section of /etc/XF86Config, and for the console, swap
the entries for 029 and 058 in
/usr/share/syscons/keymaps/<your_keymap> or change the 058 line to be
all ``lctrl'' to make both keys Ctrl (no Caps Lock key). I notice that
there are some new keymap files with ``-ctrl'' in their name which
does the latter of these, but I don't know when they were introduced.
