China DOS Union

And then you'll see all kinds of “Chinese Linux” being hyped up by the domestic media; their main advantage is Chinese text handling. But as mentioned in the previous article, if you want to use Chinese, Windows 2000 is best. Actually, I think something a senior from the old Class 7 said to me was very good: “(For us,) seeing Chinese on a computer is itself a very strange thing.” If you're here with the goal of learning computers, then there's no way you can avoid reading English documentation. Even Microsoft's documentation, the programming-related docs, the latest ones are all in English. Of course, for going on BBSes, browsing Chinese web pages, and so on, an English dist can do that too.

KO says:
The above text was seen on Tsinghua's LINUX board.
But I deeply agree with one sentence in it.
It's this one: seeing Chinese on a computer is itself a very strange thing
I think it's the same in DOS. Hehe...
You must know a little English...
You MUST know a little English.

It's true that you must know a little English, but “(for us,) seeing Chinese on a computer is itself a very strange thing” is way too exaggerated, especially the “(for us)” part!

Hehe~ criticizing KO

If you want to use a computer, just use it, then there's nothing strange about seeing your native language.
But if you're studying computers, studying programming, then not knowing English is a very strange thing.

Why is it that foreigners use computers in their own language,
while people in our country have to use a foreign language to use computers?

Why not use no language at all, and just have everyone use 0101010010100011111101010010 together.

But then, if we're going to use 0101.., we'd be better off just using a unified “Esperanto” instead...

Dizzy..
What's there to argue about...
Computers were invented by foreigners, so if you want to know computers, of course you have to learn some English~
