That's a whole 'nother thing. At this time if you want Linux, you need English literacy. The reason you don't need it for windows is that Microsoft spend lots of money making THEIR product accessable to the Hebrew speaking masses. Unless someone does it to Linux, you will never see that depth of "market penetration". > people who actualy NEED hebrew can't use linux. That's the bottom line. Changing this malling list to Hebrew is not going to magicaly make it happen. If anything it will keep our problems local. Which they are not. They are almost the same problems that the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, etc users plus all of the Arabic users out there. And most of the problems are not even that, they are the same for all users of linux. It's simple. The only way to share programs with other people is to present them in a language they understand. 200 years ago it would have been French. 100 years ago German or Russian. Now it's English. If you want to have a job, you had better read and write English well. Otherwise your company will be passed over for that development contract for Indians, who are native English speakers. Especially since "Made In Israel" is begining to mean "Not for sale in the E.U.". :-( (Sucks, dosen't it?). IMHO the only way Linux will "take off" here is if people use it at their job.
