How to re-map command and option keys on Mac OS X with a PC-keyboard?

How to re-map command and option keys on Mac OS X with a PC-keyboard?

in my keyboard the command key is mapped to the windows key (I'm using a regular PC keyboard) so I only have a left command, because the space on the right is occupied by the useless Fn key.

"The answer was as easy as this:

Click the Apple logo in the top left of your screen
Select ""System Preferences""
Select ""Keyboard""
Make sure the ""Keyboard"" ""tab"" is selected
Select the ""Modifier Keys..."" button in the bottom right of the window
Select keyboard: ""USB Keyboard"" (probably - if you're like me, you're trying to configure a keyboard that's plugged in to your laptop)
Switch the ""Option"" and ""Command"" values"
