 All countries are ready for Linux, most simply don't know it yet.

Modern hebrew IS bidirectional. You don't write In 2001 I sent this 
email, or this email was sent using SMTP without bidi. Theoretically 
it is purely right to left, but in practice important parts of our Hebrew 
communication is written left to right.

 Not ours... it's in argentina.
 
 read it: http://www.terra.com.ar/canales/tecnologia/17/17180.html
 it is in spanish but basicly it says that there was a proposal that all
 goverment deparments and stuff will use open-source free software. AS A LAW.
 
 At the end of the article it is said that linux will be ready in 10 years
 for argentina. (or the oposite?)

I think argentina is not ready for linux, and not the opposite. That is what
is written in that article. IMHO non-bidi lenguages countries are very ready
for linux.

Just out of curiosity, do you know of a single language that is actually bidi?
As far as I know, bi-directional languages do not exist.

To recap in short an answer sent privately, yes. Greek has a number of
texts with bidi lines.

Out of curiosity, echoed he, would anyone but yours demented truly be
interested in establishing a subsidiary list dealing with non-Intel
