1and1 Root Server in German

We’ve got two of the Dedicated Root Servers from 1and1 and one of them has been in German since it was set up. This would be great except the only German I can remember is how to ask for beer.

If you’ve got one and would like it to talk to you in English instead, here’s what you do:

  • Install Yum or some other method of getting updates or RPMs
  • Install system-config-language
  • Run system-config-language
  • Choose English and hit OK

All your system messages should be in English now.
