[nylug-talk] distro recommendations (cjk input and other concerns)

[Allen Shaw]

Hi Scott,

Yes, ("pin-pon!") it's Japanese ^_^

Quick scan of your page -- looks quite useful. I have a feeling that, as 
Ah Pook pointed out, "it's much the same for any distro - grab some 
fonts, change locale, install the helper programs for input."

Thanks for the tips. I will let you know how it works out.
