Someone once said that I'm not a openSUSE's target user since I use Mac/Ubuntu most time :) But I still want to support ideas I feel right. In some places of China and other places in the world, the Internet connection is really limited. This should be obvious rather than surprising. In many Chinese universities, propitiatory clients are used for Internet connection authentication. Therefore, sometimes the problem is whether you can connect the Internet using non-Windows systems like openSUSE. Rather than how fast the Internet connection is. This is slightly off topic but I guess you'd better know this fact. If you want to support users with slow/litmited Internet connection. You may do two things technically. 1. Help users picking up the his or her best mirror site for all data to be downloaded. 2. Reduce the bandwidth needed for certain tasks. I'm sorry that I cannot join the detailed discussion about zypper or yast now. I'm not familiar with them. But I do hope openSUSE tools can be economical about bandwidth. CJK support for console is also one thing that many Chinese openSUSE users concern. Though CJK is definitely not the toughest script in terms of rendering. In the bad propitiatory world, Chinese people are often forced to use some sort of reverse engineering to find the resources to translate. FOSS in general is much better from this aspect. But rendering problem cancels the positive effect of NLS. English-only is better than garbage display, right?
