They've been there since before the millennium as I recall. Most people find key-click intensely annoying (e= ven more so if it's on someone else's machine) so it's turned off by default.= As it's an X windows thing, it should be available on any OS where you ca= n run an X server, so any Linux or FreeBSD. Of course, you will need some = sort of speaker in the machine to generate the noises, but that can be very rudimentary. If your machine can emit a beep, then it can probably do key click too.
