??? then why do you want to have a chinese Linux? The same software which is
on RedFlag, Redhat, Mandrake and so on also exists for Debian.
The question in which language the messages, menues and GUI are displayed
depends on the fonts and locale settings.
You can also try 3Anoppix, which is Knoppix in traditional chinese (running
completely from CD, but also installable on HD).
ftp://debian.linux.org.tw/pub/3Anoppix/
If you wnat to learn chinese, I think you might need a dictionary, the input
method and some fonts. Also hanzim might be interesting for you, to learn
the characters.
The input method I use is xcin, it comes with a preconfigured chinese
terminal (rxvt-ml) in Debian. From there I start my applications, like
kmail, and am able to input chinese. My environment stays english, but I
can show and input chinese, both in unicode (utf8) or big5.
If you want to display traditional and simplefied chinese in the same
document (maybe together with some european characters), you need a unicode
font. there are 2 truetype fonts available on
ftp://debian.linux.org.tw/pub/3Anoppix/people/arne/ , also as debian
packages. They currently include Big5, GB2312 and
iso8859-1,2,3,4,9,10,11,13,14,15. they are still in development so, if you
find any grave bugs, please report to me... ;)
As a dictionary I mainly use cedict, or kdict with the dictd server and a
converted database from cedict. I can mail it to you if you want.
