我 不知道
I am Yang_RongWei, a China user. I want to know the GB18030 standard supporting status of SuSE Linux. I found this doc in your company's site
http://lists.suse.com/archive/m17n/2001-Nov/0013.html
but it cannot answer my question. I found your mail address in that doc. So I write this mail to you. Could you help me answer these questions?
1. Does "SuSE Linux 7.3" support GB18030 ?
No.
2. Did SuSE Linux get GB18030 certification from China government ?
SuSE didn't apply for GB18030 certification yet.
3. If it got, which is the first version number of SuSE ? 4. Which is the first version number when SuSe supports GB18030 ?
UnitedLinux 1.0 and SLES8 (which is based on UnitedLinux 1.0) support GB18030 but SuSE has not yet tried to get a certification. SuSE Linux 8.2 didn't support GB18030 anymore because XFree86 was updated to version 4.3.0 and the GB18030 patches needed for XFree86 were not yet ported to this new XFree86 version. James Su from TurboLinux has ported the GB18030 patches to XFree86 4.3.0 in the meantime and we have included his patches in the current beta version of SuSE Linux. I.e. SuSE 9.0, which will be released sometime in autumn this year, will support GB18030 again.
5. Where can I find offical doc about SuSE's GB18030 supporting status?
I don't know any official document about that.
