??? then why do you want to have a chinese Linux? The same software which is on RedFlag, Redhat, Mandrake and so on also exists for Debian. The question in which language the messages, menues and GUI are displayed depends on the fonts and locale settings. You can also try 3Anoppix, which is Knoppix in traditional chinese (running completely from CD, but also installable on HD). ftp://debian.linux.org.tw/pub/3Anoppix/ If you wnat to learn chinese, I think you might need a dictionary, the input method and some fonts. Also hanzim might be interesting for you, to learn the characters. The input method I use is xcin, it comes with a preconfigured chinese terminal (rxvt-ml) in Debian. From there I start my applications, like kmail, and am able to input chinese. My environment stays english, but I can show and input chinese, both in unicode (utf8) or big5. If you want to display traditional and simplefied chinese in the same document (maybe together with some european characters), you need a unicode font. there are 2 truetype fonts available on ftp://debian.linux.org.tw/pub/3Anoppix/people/arne/ , also as debian packages. They currently include Big5, GB2312 and iso8859-1,2,3,4,9,10,11,13,14,15. they are still in development so, if you find any grave bugs, please report to me... ;) As a dictionary I mainly use cedict, or kdict with the dictd server and a converted database from cedict. I can mail it to you if you want. HTH Arne - -- Arne Goetje <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Spam catcher. Address might change in future!)
