Argument for... Re: migrating to UTF-8

if you have ideas how to make this more convincing, please tell me.

In my opinion, the best argument is: There is no disadvantage in using UTF-8 (except that you have to migrate existing files and file names) for single language users, but there are great advantages for all multilingual users. Of course, if SuSE switches to UTF-8 as default, all applications should be carefully tested. Also carfully tested migration tools should be supplied and an automatic migration should be suggested in YaST. Regards Marc
