A lot of projects happy with GNU/Linux because of some reasons which mostly don't apply at all. > > Given that Lemote wishes to mass-produce computers for the rural people of > China, they would also need lots of servers. Any chance of producing a > multi-lingual installer ? OpenBSD is not targeted to typical users (but it can be prepared for use for those users). De facto standard language in system administration is English so why to have installer in different language? Especially one which is mostly about hitting enter only. In running system after install you can have any of the most used languages either for keyaboard only in console or complete apps in X. For sure you're free to provide patches for multilingual installer as long as it will be able to fit one floppy only (want to see that because of need for UTF ;-)). > > Daniel Villarreal > > PS: I'm not from English speaking country and my mother language is not English
