DEBIAN: ======= I too would like to know the answer to this UTF-8 question about Debian! (See original email below).
MANDRAKE: ========= And does anyone know the official story about Mandrake? I installed Mandrake 10.0 (from a magazine disc) and got an ISO-8859-1 locale instead of a UTF-8 locale. The Mandrake locale-setting GUI continued to provide only legacy ISO options, as far as I could tell. In the end I manually set the .i18n file to en_US.UTF-8 and everything seems to work to the extent that I have tested it. So why is UTF-8 not the default? Does anyone know? APACHE: ======= The last time I installed Apache 2.0.x, it too defaults to the legacy ISO-8859-1 configuration. One has to manually change the configuration file in order to get HTML pages served with the correct headers indicating UTF-8. Does anyone know if this is still the case? When is this going to change? Apache 2.0.x should really default to UTF-8. Do people agree with me here? - Edward H.
