Good luck. :-) > I'd be curious to hear your rant, if for no other reason than to > beef up my proposal to Pat. There's nothing like that in it. Basically my beef is that Slackware no longer has a niche. LFS and Gentoo are the hands-on distros, and RedHat and Debian are the package-based distros. IMHO, Slackware was cool in 1995 but has since lost its spiffitude. :) > Honestly, I didn't know Eterm supported CJK.

I obviously don't use the non-ISO-8859 stuff very often, but I'm told Eterm supports Asian and Cyrillic quite well. > Understood!
