Haha. Well, users who want that can either use Red Hat, or TurboLinux, 
if they're not bankrupt yet.

It's really just a matter of activating canna or wnn, making a few 
scripts to run programs with LC_ALL=ja_JP.utf-8/eucJP and LANG=en or 
LANG=ja_JP etc. etc., and perhaps including gjiten, kanjidrill etc. It's 
no big deal, and doesn't require its own distro.

Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are actually the same language. It's just
that the Norwegians can't spell it, and the Danes can't pronounce it.
