 Using Joyride 1370.

 It was very nice to see a cute ascii xo laptop, along with "hello,
 children of the world" in various languages when login in through the
 virtual terminals. But the accents and special characters of portuguese
 language (I have pt_BR as my keyboard layout and system configuration)
 didn't show up, so it showed as "OlAi, crianA§as do mundo!"

 In fact, the keyboard layout used to type seem to be US, and this could be
 due to the fact that when booting, the "loading pt_BR keyboard layout" (or
 similar message) reports as Failed.

 As a final aside, I suggest the portuguese version be: "Olá, crianças de
 todo o mundo!", similar to the italian phrase. It is more natural.
