Hi, Anguo: You are certainly staying long than me on this list. I am less than a week! Last week, I am messed up what is what, and which is which. And now I've re-installed Mandrake 5 times, getting more sense to Mandrake. I think many problems come from KDE 2. And http://kde.linux.org.tw is a good place to stay around KDE's localization.
