Right. Good information. I think it great that the link is up there - really it could stand alone, and perhaps should under "Hangul Input Systems" or some such title. I'm a half touch typist in Eng -- no numbers .. 하글은.. 아 .. 아마 오 퍼센트만 안보고 칠할 수 있어요.. I learned to touch type in 1976, in a summer school class... unfortunately at 51 years old I find that the neural pathways for English are so burned into my brain that re-learning them creates some havoc in regular typing.
Linux:
Just last night I installed Ubuntu 11.4 on my latest PC hardware and I am very impressed. I can hardly wait to put that box into service because it has better hardware specs that my other computers.
I have been a SuSE Linux/ Opensuse fan for a long time, since perhaps SuSE 7.x but I am disappointed with their direction lately and find that opensuse 11.1 was the last version that I could tolerate. ...which, by the way, I am still running on this box:
george@linux-jfsb:~> cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.27.54-0.1-pae (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP 2010-10-19 18:40:07 +0200
I still run opensuse 10.3 on a box in the den, and an older version of Ubuntu on my Dell Inspiron 910 netbook --a little workhorse that has been to Korea twice and never failed to find and connect to wifi in the city.
I've never tried IBus because I started with SCIM and it has always worked well.
Windows:
For my wife and daughter I recently purchased Samsung laptops with Windows 7 pre-installed. While Windows 7 does seem like the first decent iteration of Windows, the necessity of maintaining a separate security suite subscription still bespeaks of inherent security flaws... oh well I suppose it keeps a lot of people employed. As my son, a network security specialist, often says "Dad, Windows is JOB security."
