Depends on how big your hands are. My span (Keyboard player) makes up to CTRL+6 comfortable, but 7, 8, 9 and 0 are painful.
One hint for Linux users: You can map the Capslock-key to be control easily with this in xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice" ... Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps" ... EndSection
This makes the Ctl-key-combinations in all apps much more comfortable - and who needs capslock anyway?
It's possible on Windows with some registry magic as well, probably also on OS-X.
With Ubuntu and OS-X there are even easy-peasy GUI settings for it. :-) Ubuntu it's System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts -> "Other Options" -> "Ctrl Key Position". Can't remember exactly where it is in OS-X, but I remember it being fairly easy to find.
