Does the greek keyboard layout offer a fast switch into latin letters? How does 'Linux' look like in greek letters?

As far as I know the greek keyboard layout is based on the US style alignment, with the characters swapped. The Greek alphabet has fewer characters than Latin after all. The standard quick way to change the input in Windows, and the one I'm using in Ubuntu is hitting Alt+Shift. Spelling Linux phonetically would be Λίνουξ.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
