Re: Hebrew on the desktop.
Did the env vars below. Hebrew can be typed and viewed but, file names I share from MS XP machines are junkie.

[*] en_US.UTF-8 is generally a bad choice for locale definitions, as they use a different date format, printer page size, mesurment units, etc. en_GB.UTF-8 is closer to what we have -- Thanks.

Just a rank, but if you do not have luck with non automated-do-it-yourself-distro why do you keep using them? get Ubuntu/Mandriva/Suse/Fedora of whatever... How about keeping /home/ on another partition? Basicaly, what you need to setup is LC_* to be he_IL. You also need to mount your fvat/ntfs partitions with something similar to this: /dev/hda3 /media/hda3 vfat user,exec,rw,auto,codepage=862,iocharset=utf8,umask=0 0 0 Don't forget to install Culmus and a package which provides freesans font.
