We have actually been researching this at efn, since we have an increasing number of spanish-speaking people we work with. Debian has a fair amount of spanish support, but i've not seen a spanish-language installer for it (i would not be surprised if one existed). Another option is Eurielec, a spanish language RedHat derivative, http://www.eurielec.etsit.upm.es/linux/faq.html In debian, once the system is installed, and if you have the appropriate packages, then you can set your language variables in your .bash_profile and you will get spanish-language options for everything that supports i18n; spanish manpages, spanish GNOME, maybe spanish error messages... -- "If my son wants to be a pimp when he grows up, that's fine with me.
