Well, between the top posting and the ambiguous reply quoting, I'm not sure what your original question actually was.

Ask for information about FreeBSD and SATA
Sir, Presently, my hard disk is managed by a 3112A chipset (SATA I). As you probably know it, this chipset isn't compatible with FreeBSD. Can you advise me an external card that you compatible with FreeBSD to manage my hard disk ? I've sent a mail to ldlc.be asking for a card that manage my hard disk but they seem to have no card compatible with FreeBSD. I'm running FreeBSD since begin of 6.1 but I can'nt access some disks. Wich card containing HDD SATA I chipset do you suggest ? Gregory HOLLAND P.S. : I've done a talk to the FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Software Developers European Meeting). The topic of my talk was "End User migration from Linux to FreeBSD" I'm running FreeBSD 6.3 now. In June, I'll update to FreeBSD 7.0. I need an Internal PCI card ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I don't know about other desktop environments, e.g. KDE, but I guess that making similar efforts are under way. Regards, Simon pgp1I83KBvRXl.pgp Description: PGP signature

However many ports exist with Arabic support -- eg. OpenOffice. There is an arabic category in the ports -- mostly containing a number of Arabic fonts. I wasn't aware that Informix databases were available or supported under FreeBSD -- perhaps this is a Linux version of Informix being run under emulation? Anyhow, I'd expect that IBM as the vendors of Informix software would be good people to ask about localization support. I can state for certain that the two biggest free RDBMS available -- MySQL and PostgeSQL -- both provide excellent support for many different languages. Certainly, there is no problem with such things as hosting (or viewing) Arabic language web sites under FreeBSD -- all of the web application programming languages do support Arabic in principle, although examples and localized documentation may be hard to come by. FreeBSD depends entirely on people donating their time and expertise for all of its code development, web sites and documentation. As far as I can see there is no ongoing project to translate FreeBSD documentation and other material into Arabic, or to provide an Arabic locale in the base system. However, anyone stepping forward and volunteering to produce such things would be welcomed with open arms.
