Funny you should mention that, since I just discovered Helixcode
yesterday myself.  It does look very cool, but I haven't installed
it yet, since I'm not sure what I might break in my existing
system.  Helix Gnome says it's compatible with TurboLinux 6.0,
but doesn't specifically mention if that's for all language versions
or only for the English one, so I'm giving it a yellow flag.

If any TLUGgers are using it, particularly with TL-J or other Japanese
distros, are there any pitfalls to watch for?
