C / POSIX should be the default for all unices
During the install, I should have the option
of setting a different locale, or leave it as C.
Probably an expert option at that, since new users
will probably be using a book to learn with.
Anyone why has used UNIX, expects the C sorting order.
Most books on USING unix expect the C sort order too.
So having the default set to something else, makes
RHL look non-standard to new users learning too.
When you get to the section of a book that tells
you how/why to set the locale to something else,
then the user can, since they will know:
1) What it does
2) They wanted to do it
3) How to change it back.
Breaking 20+ years of documentation is not a good
thing to do in my view.
Where are accented character in the C sort order?
What are those users used to?
Perhaps they should have a different default,
Where the accents are sorted with no accents
but follow C sorting otherwise.
I still favor C order though.
Sortorder was one of the things I disliked about
Win95 and it's long names.
