I'm donating one of my old computers (AMDKII380mhz,3.2GB.160mb RAM) to a local school that was burglarized last week.

Computer will be used, "single-user at a time", by middle school students. Setup with RH7.3, lotsa Linux educational/graphics/game stuff. Unit will be strictly "stand-alone", no LAN/intranet wiring. I will be setting up the student accounts on the machine and doing the _root_ grunt work for the unit.

I spoke with the assistant principal yesterday, she told me that they would appreciate having the Linux capability of having "multiple default languages" for the various students.

When I installed RH7.3, I installed Spanish,Russian, and Chinese man/KDE files. Spanish is the critical one to support, Chinese is desirable, Russian would be nice to have.

I know the basics of using _useradd_ and editing user disk limits, etc. But I have not been able to find any listing in my Linux books for setting up the default language for each user that I will be creating for the school.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to help this school and, of course, spread the Linux good-word!
