Debian and Ubuntu server locale and encoding

I recently had “fun” supporting server installation of software that needed locale set properly.

In Debian, you can just use

dpkg-reconfigure locales

and the console GUI will pop up.

In Ubuntu server, you’ll have to make more steps:

And make full use of UTF, please: http://docs.python.org/2/library/locale.html
