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).
