For me it's great because i can cut some of the bloat out by simply removing the extra languages ability although i would then have to suffer with american. <br><br>If it was technically feasible to have just en_us, fr, perhaps spanish and maybe one or two others rather than all the different english versions we currently have then more people would have the sweet advantage that i currently enjoy. <br><br>There are technical reasons that would make this more complicated than is immediately obvious. A huge change requiring a lot of work for a low priority minor issue that most people probably don't notice anyway is hardly something i can imagine people jumping on, it's just a thought about where we might want to head in a few years. <br><br>Btw, congratulations on all the hardwork people :) Jaunty 9.04 is looking great. Also great to see a high level of commitment from an official source. It's great to see governments actively supporting gnu/linux's but even better to see one giving support to specifically Ubuntu. I think the whole world of computer users benefits from this as well as being a good way for government departs and the rest of the people of the country. Perhaps i'm being far too idealistic but developing ways out of paying licencing fees to a foreign company's profit margin has got to be a good way to help the local economy and to help resist the americanisation of the world. Diversity breeds innovation and success.<br><br>Thanks and regards all<br>Good luck from<br>Tom :)<br><br></div></div><br> </body></html>
