Ok, this is nice but what about the user interface, I've seen that the
are several languages for OpenOffice.org Debian packages, so that may
be a solution if it fits your environment (i.e. if you are running
unstable (I think it also runs on testing with few extra packages from
unstable), however I haven't tried them and I don't know about if you
can configure the language for each individual user. Does anyone
know about this?
