I've never heard of any > localized versions of UNIX (?). There's an amazing amount of material that has been localized into quite a number of languages. I believe Gnome and KDE are pretty much fully localized to most languages you can think of these days. I tend to run a Norwegian (Nynorsk or Bokmål, whatever I fancy that day) KDE desktop myself. An ordinary user would get along fine on a typical desktop system in their local language, IME. On the other hand your friendly sysadmin would likely be at a great disadvantage with little or no English. -- Peter N. M.
