    I'm running Linpus on an 8GB Aspire One. My wife is Lithuanian and is unable to type Lithuanian characters. This is easy enough to resolve in Windows, but I don't have a clue where to look for multi-language support in the Linux world. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    In Fedora 10's XFCE desktop -- is Linpus similar? -- you can add a Keyboard Layout switch to the place beside the wireless signal strength indicator. Right click an empty spot in that toolbar and choose Add New Item. If Keyboard Layouts isn't on the list, you can install the xfce4-xkb-plugin package and then try again.

    Thanks, amturnip. I installed Linux4one (Ubuntu netbook remix), which allows me to toggle languages on the toolbar as you mentioned. Works like a charm.
