Linux A few months ago I was a Slackware Junkie. I loved it, and laughed at those who used 'more automatic' distributions (ok, I didn't actually laugh). Then Arch Linux 0.5 came out and I was very intrigued by it. I was getting tired of having to compile updated packages myself.

Foreign language support, particularly cjk, is not a strength of Arch.

You've tried it? How easy it is to configure Arch for Japanese input and how well does it work? I'm asking this as a would-be Slackware user who seems to be hated by Canna (I've read everything I can find about installing & configuring it for Slackware, but I've never got it to work. A shame, since otherwise Slackware would suit my needs).
