This chapter starts with information about various software packages, the
virtual consoles, and the keyboard layout. We talk about software
components like bash,
cron, and
logrotate, because they were
changed or enhanced during the last release cycles. Even if they are
small or considered of minor importance, users may want to change their
default behavior, because these components are often closely coupled with
the system. The chapter is finished by a section about language and
country-specific settings (I18N and L10N).
