[Gllug] Multiligual computers

[Walid]

if it Linux, then Mandrake, and probably suse should be your answer, I use
Mandrake default Installation to write in Arabic, which is a subset of the
Persian, and Urdu character set, but I know that the Persians have been working
in i18l for linux long time ago before the Arabs, the keyboard driver I believe
has unicode support in it, and kde 3.0.0 is a Multilingual desktop that does a
better job using a unicode, I do not have the links at the moment but if that
what you were asking; I will be happy to check my notes later!

another solution which I hate to say! is W2k with its unicode support; it works
well for me, better than Linux, but not for long hopefully.   :)

What I was missing is using Arabic in the desktop; but now with QT 3, and the
KDE implementation it is becoming possible.
