This is easy. all you need is:
1. open a terminal and be root 2. #dpkg-reconfigure locales 3. choose the arabic utf-8 one or ones (there are many) 4. choose ok. 5. the locale will be generated for ya 6. log out and log back in using GDM 7. make sure you choose the language 8. log into GNOME with Arabic interface
I hope this helps

Hello Demiss:
Well i am in the process of putting in some docs but for now... all you need is to go to http://www.morphix.org and check out the howtos and the faq. the are full of good info and links to docs.
Let me know if you encounter any specific problems. I will be more than happy to help.

Greetings,
I downloaded and burned arabbix - very impressive. I'm interested in adapting your setup to also work Ethiopian languages (with the option for users to select between Arabic and Ethiopian Amharic). Can you help? (ie. build procedures,...)
thanks, Demiss Taye
