Nonsequittal Rumblings

I knew it’s been possible for years and years. But for some reason, I could NEVER figure out how to do this. Last night, I took another plunge at setting up the environment up so I can type Japanese on Linux again. This time, the tools used were Ubuntu running XFCE desktop (Xubuntu), anthy, and uim. I followed some instructions on various ubuntu wiki and forums, and… ta-da! It’s good to go!

I took this linux laptop to Walmart this morning before work. While they were working on the oil change, I typed up my first Japanese blog entry on that laptop. It works like a charm. ;_; My 8+ year goal has been finally reached.
