No... I can only say "Yes" in Japanese (pronounce "Hi" like in American). One of my client has a Japanese web site, therefore got used to using UTF-8. Out of memory (don't trust me), SJSS is a subpart of UTF-8, therefore SJSS may display well under Windows. But we need to use the conversion libraries of wxWindows2.5 in all other cases. Let's talk of packages now... > Slackware's packaging system is based on tgz's but I know what you mean. > They were only a quick lash up. Can http://www.slackware.com/config/packages.php be used to install your packages? I am currently downloading Mandrake 9.1 for installation on an old box. Seems like we now have RedHat, Slackware and Mandrake daily packages. We still need Suse 8?1 packages and Debian packages. - Suse I will try to get in contact with the maintainer of PostgreSQL packages at Suse to ask for help. I met him at the PostgreSQL conference in FOSDEM, he is a very nice guy. - Debian Knopix is the easiest way to install Debian. Maybe it can be used to generate packages. I don't know anything about Debian. Dave, do you run Debian stations at work? Have you tried Knopix? It is designed by a PostgreSQL hacker.
