Re: [Thinkpad] Dual booting of english and Spanish windows on T20

Why does she want to do this? If it's to learn Spanish computer
terminology then she should exclusively use an OS installed in
Spanish. Not having an English language install to fall back on will
make the learning go faster (like not speaking English in a Spanish
class).

If instead the main objective is to prepare documents in Spanish, this
can be done quite easily by installing the OS with an International
keyboard layout (US-International is what I use) so that :

apostrophe key + vowel key = accented vowel
Ctrl Alt + ? = ¿
Ctrl Alt + ! = ¡
