Reading/Writing Chinese Using Linux?

Posted by Cliff on from the but-my-mandarin-is-a-bit-rusty dept.

Rimbo asks: "I'm building a computer for a friend, who has three major requirements from his system: He wants an Athlon with a 333MHz FSB, he wants absolutely no Microsoft software anywhere near it, and he needs the ability to read and edit Chinese. I imagine Red Flag Linux has great Chinese support, but is it as easy to use as a desktop OS as Mandrake or Red Hat? How easy is Chinese text editing and entry under the major distributions? What "office" software for Linux is good for editing Chinese? Thanks!"

    Wouldn't this be more appropriate if it was posted on the Japanese Slashdot, http://slashdot.jp/? I mean, Japan isn't China, but I'm sure they'd be better at relating to that kind of environment...

      Your probably one of those communist, italian terrorists. Italy, what a fucking joke. A country that has that many communists is severely fucked. No wonder Italy is a third world country now.

      Die Eurocunt.

    The Johnkatzse.cx lawyer said we needed a warning, so if your under 18 or find the picture offensive, please don't look at it. Thank you.
