I'm certainly looking forward to something like that.  I'm running two 
installs of Suse Linux right now just so I can write in Japanese.  For 
my main English machine, my attempts at Japanese input have all failed.  
Most recently buying (expensive) ATOK for Linux (Y8,000) that installed 
but doesn't work.  So... when I need to write something in Japanese, I 
fire up the box with the Japanese install of Suse and write from there.  
It's an easy thing to write in Japanese apparently, so I don't dare ask 
any more questions in here about how to get the English version of Suse 
to actually do it.
