I know a guy who had a terrible time just trying to enable Japanese text
input in Slackware. I suggested trying Ubuntu or Kubuntu and he was
very impressed. He said all his hardware was detected and worked after
install, and he had Japanese text input working after a very short
time. I think it's good to stick with one distro for a while, but one
can learn just as well using a distro that works out of the box as well
as one that one must struggle to make work. I mean, it's always an
option to tweak and break a system after install. heh.
