RedHat 7.1 (standard English version) now includes good Japanese support. If at install time you select Japanese as one of your languages, and then also install XEmacs (use select indivudual packages in the installation), you can use WNN to write in Japanese in XEmacs (for email etc.) without doing anything else!
(In XEmacs do Ctrl-\ then type japanese-egg-wnn)
This is a vast improvement on previous installations where I always had to recompile XEmacs with Mule support and then install WNN separately to get it to work.
I bought the Z505JX a few months ago, which has "only" a PII400. I am very, very pleased with it --- nice screen (12.1 inch, 1024*768), pretty big keyboard considering the overall size, 8GB disk, plug-in CD-R drive, built in modem and ethernet, firewire, etc. And not that expensive really (about 350,000 yen for everything). Don't know when they're going to bring these out in other countries though.
And it runs Linux with no problems too. The disk was even prepartitioned so I didn't have to screw around with the Windows installation (which comes with some nice digital video software).
