FC4 makes it quite difficult to set your locale/language.  It used to be
a question asked during installation, now it's not.  There used to be a
plethora of variations of English available, now it's just US, it seems
(that's all mine has on offer, on this particular FC4 box, if I look in
a system settings for language).  I don't even see a locale
configuration option (which is an entirely different function than just
language).

On that point, I'll say it's incredibly stupid to have a system-wide,
but no per-user, Language setting on a multi-user system.

Umm, no.  I don't run strange programs.  Even without malicious intent,
there's still the possibility of nasty errors.

What I consider to be my real programming skills stopped being used when
programing 8086s by their op codes.  I don't know the mnemonics of what
your code does to even guess at what it's doing.
