Using Japanese (and Chinese) on an prodominantly english system

Hi all, I speak a little Japanese and am now learning Mandarin. I would like to be able to read and write both languages on my computers, but leave my systems basically in English. I'm looking mostly to be reading and writing Japanese with a text editor. I use vim and do not want to learn emacs.

[OT] SSL certificates and daylight savings

Hi all, This is not particularly related to debian but I hoped some SSL experts out there could satisfy my curiousity. Over the weekend I was trying to connect to my online banking (National Australia Bank) and get a certificate error about not recognising the issuer of the certificate for the pa

Hi, I'm just setting up a masquerading firewall and I'm getting some log messages I don't completely understand like the follwing: pluto kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth0 PROTO=1 210.86.82.93:3 xx.xx.xx.xx:3 . I've found out that that's an ICMP packet, with type Desination Unreadable and c

nameserver problems

Hi all, I'm having some problems with the nameserver on a webserver I am setting up at a company I work for. I'm running bind from potato, and the machines on the internal network can use my server as a name server, no problems, but when I try and set my machine up at home to query this server to

papd(netatalk) help!

Hi all, I recently upgraded from slink to potato. This seems to have broken papd (among other things), the Appletalk printer interface. Initially papd complained about the lack of a file called lock. After 'creating' this file in the printer spool directory it now is now producing the message: l
