I just did a Google search on synaptic + Red Hat for a news item I wrote and guess what?
Void Main's tip on apt-get for Red Hat came out on top :D
Here's a screenie :)

1 0.08% stl suck

the rest were pretty on topic, but i am amused when people take the time to type this sort of thing in their search engine and see what comes up!

If you have Google in Dutch, why not Mozilla and KDE with it?

I assume you're asking why Mozilla and KDE are in English? :)
Explanation is fairly simple, all the software that I use is in English since I think English is the closest we can get to a universally spoken language.
Plus, when I first entered http://www.google.com I was automatically re-directed to http://www.google.be and the page displayed in Dutch.
I didn't even notice that right away and never bothered to try and change it afterwards.

85% of the stuff you research on the web is in English and quite frankly when you talk to people using 5-6 different languages almost every day english is your best alternative :D
unless you wanna learn Swedish, German and Spanish :wink:

Why not translate them then, because im not, and there might not be any kde developers that speak dutch, so they dont care. Its a Do It Yourself world in Open Source.
