linux advantage

1.虽然我从未觉得用linux就显得另类，但实际效果可能就是这样的
2.如果经常用脚本，批量处理文件，批量运行程序，自动化的计算，太方便了
3.可以看到源码，如果对哪个程序感兴趣，可以寻根究底，文档免费，程序免费
4.如果你写程序，随时可以做些贡献，可能为社区贡献力量，你想开发windows？不太现实
5.个人认为桌面效果已经很不错了，甚至可以自己写compiz的plugin，也可以生活在前沿上，别人想开发什么，正在开发什么，你有什么要求和建议，都可以沟通
6.更好的机会提高工作，娱乐效率，比如可以浏览linux下的软件，可能有意想不到的功能，比如我发现有个软件列出了很多在线电台，听歌就免费了
7.开服务器方便，远程控制方便
8.hack工具很多
9.硬盘换到别的机器上不用重装系统
10.内存自动作为硬盘缓存，打开已经开过的程序非常快
11.升级频繁，感觉每天都是新的
12.永远有东西折腾，图形界面就很多，玩完一个换一个，发行版好多，不停的试
最后，简单

Install FCITX Under Hardy Heron

在英文环境下安装FCITX没有安装SCIM方便，需要修改一些文件，现在简单列出安装的步骤：
安装FCITX包，直接使用sudo apt-get install fcitx即可，现在源中的文件版本是3.4.3
安装im-switch，直接使用sudo apt-get install im-switch即可
因为是英文环境，所以需要修改Xinput文件：
sudo vi /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodule-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.immodules
在该文件中找到
“xim” “X Input Method” “gtk20″ “/usr/share/locale” “ko:ja:th:zh”
替换为：
“xim” “X Input Method” “gtk20″ “/usr/share/locale” “en:ko:ja:th:zh”
im-switch -s fcitx
重新启动Xwindow即可

I've found the solution on Chinese Ubuntu forums on http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?p=479741&sid=c37de1d11989db6ebe95227b35efa770#479818 ,
which say
sudo apt-get install scim-bridge
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim
change GTK_IM_MODULE=xim into GTK_IM_MODULE="scim-bridge"
and restart X.
This fixed the problem (both deadkey and SCIM) for me.
