One of the most attractive features of Fedora/Red Hat, as far as our Islands are concerned, is its aggressive attempt to make an OS that bridges the barrier between Western and Eastern languages. Red Hat 8 was the first OS that's based on unicode (UTF-8).
Now FC2 is bravely adopting the new Intranet/Internet Input Method Framework (IIIMF), which is the next generation Input Method Framework set to replace the legacy X Window System Input Method (XIM) used by existing Input Methods such as chinput, xcin, kinput2, etc. See: http://www.apac.redhat.com/iiimftest/testing-guide/ch-testcase.html Most in this forum probably will not be able to appreciate the significance of this development. But it won't hurt to be aware of what's going on. wayne
