subscribed? Anyway, that list seems to be in japanese mostly...

I think you all did an excellent job with debian-jp, he was impressed how
fast it was possible to display kanji and even receive and display his email
from his home account. Now he can print it, when hes able to type it with
linux, it would be excellent. At least I was allowed to remove SuSE Linux
from another PC and setup the next Debian system here :-)
Ciao,
