We will get there, just in the last couple of  years there has
happened a lot in this area and i think the most of the basic program
in a Linux system works OK with UTF-8 now.

Linux from Scratch is a very good source for how a Linux OS works and
the core of a basic linux system. You can learn a lot by just reading
the book. I used to run Linux From Scratch but I'm to lazy to read all
mailing list to find patches that fixes bugs and security for all
programs. It's easier just to run apt-get upgrade :-)
