Hi, everyone, In my last post I implied that Mandrake installs the Hebrew (he) locale and various other bits of Hebrew and bidi support by default. This is incorrect. The rpms are on the CDs and you can install them if you choose to. However, unless you choose Hebrew as your default language at install time it isn't actually installed. What Mandrake does (and Red Hat does not do) is offer this support on the CDs right out of the box, at least as of Red Hat 7.0 and Mandrake 7.2. Even more important to me, Mandrake offers me the options of choosing an Israeli keyboard (Hebrew/English) and this is really important to me no matter what language I am typing in, since that's the keyboard I have on my main system. Red Hat used to support Israeli keyboards, but doesn't seem to any more. What I also hate about Red Hat is that installs a huge number of locales and docs that I will never use in a million years by default. All of this obviously could change in the new versions which are about to be released. Oh, and no, I have no clue where to buy an Israeli keyboard in the U.S. or anywhere else outside of Israel other than from online sources. FWIW, I bought mine at The Bug Store in Tel Aviv.
