Japanese on Linux

[Zbigniew Koziol]

I am on CentOS 5.2 (things should be similar on RedHat and probably on 
Fedora).

There, one should do this:

Go to System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts.

There you can add available languages and set which one is default. A 
small icon will show up at the bottom of the screen. By clicking there 
one can change between currently used languages.
