Mandrake 9.1 does support UNICODE. I have my installation set for UTF-8, CODE2000 and SILGREEK fonts, and xwg, a keyboard handler. The keyboard program was prepared by a professor of classical greek at the Moscow univ. Xwg will map the keyboard from US to polytonic greek and back. It allows for entry of polytonic characters: accents, circumflex, etc. Of course you must have the appropriate font. The new version of OpenOffice (wordprocessor and spreadsheet) will work with well with UNICODE; two months ago it did not. Postgresql will also accept the characters.
