I am always wondering that there are ready gui tools available to easily change the language environ for a particular user which is just a few clicks and a screen update away and why we had to go back the the esoteric steps that no kid will ever be interested to learn? ![:mrgreen:]( "Mr Green")

I understand many if not most of our Forum members are in a pretty vintaged age, and some of them are even over 70 years old. But time is very different, being at an old age doesn't mean that your have to stick to the old things. Learning new things, new ideas, is what got us interested in Linux in the first place. Isn't it?![;)]( "Wink")

A case in point, Gnome has a very convenient way to add Chinese (simplified & traditional) localization (including, most importantly Chinese character input methods) to a user environment. But most Linux old hands forgo this convenient approach and prefer the old x-related noble but archaic traditions that most of us learned as kids. As a result, mostly anyway, the Chinese Ubuntu site went from several thousand postings a day during its prime to one or two every a few days. The Debian-en-cn site even went MIA.
I think Debian, as old and as traditional as it is, has enough exciting fresh happenings to keep its aficionados invigorated. And young!
