Yes, almost all of Linux desktop and server distributions have had the
new Iranian standard Persian keyboard layout (ISIRI 9147) installed
since Aug 2005. [1]

Here is the instructions for Ubuntu (not very up-to-date though):

Behnam from IRMUG also posted link to the instructions for Mac. You
may want to use that to complete you page as well.

If I recall correctly, it was accepted in late 2005 or early 2006, but
it was not official until it got the standard number and was published
on ISIRI website. The date of publication is set to 1386 which would
be 2007-2008.
> It was then IMMEDIATELY implemented in Linux, right?
You can say so... but technically, NO! As you can conclude from the
dates above, Linux distributions had the standard layout even before
the standard was published. Because of the backward-compatibility of
the new standard, there was no harm to do that.

Didn't get this part...
