About myself
I am a student in computer engineering at University of Waterloo. I have been using Ubuntu Linux for 2 months now. Right now, I'm living in Etobicoke, it's a part of GTA (around Toronto area), working as co-op (co-op is like an intern program). I'm dying to get a computer sometime next week so that I can participate.
I finally got my computer, fujitsu P7120, and I'm totally satisfied with what I've got. Looks all good to me 
Known Bugs
There is a bug in gaim 2.0 beta, the one with not being able to send a last character if you are writing in Korean. Currently, you can send messages in Korean without a problem in a message tab, which has been a problem back in gaim 1.5, but in "Set friendly name" menu, the problem seems to still exist.
I think this bug can be fixed with a simple patch, doing the same thing Gaim team has done for a message tab.
-- this bug is fixed in gaim 2.0 beta cvs version.

Hacking Linux Keyboard Driver
It is a well-known problem (among Korean users) Linux kernel & X windows do not support Korean/English and Korean/Chinese toggle keys as default. To use them, you have to manually create a keymap for them, which is usually done like the following.
$ setkeycodes 71 123 $ setkeycodes 72 122
This will tell Linux kernel that those two keys are going to be used as we expect. However, it's not all done yet; because X11 does not have a complete keymap (with keysym and all that) for Korean keyboard, we have to tell X, too, just about the same thing.
