obviously the the mysql and PHP are the same (both versions and configuration)..
this was our first thing to check and set, before any import/export.

on Gentoo we discovered that it had a libxml at version 2.7 which was giving problems converting entities -> utf8,
so we downgraded it to 2.6 and it solved some xml related utf8 issues.

i guess we have to find some other core component that behaves different on the two systems.

we also tried the 5.3alpha PHP, hoping that it fixed some of the problems, but nothing...

so, to end this thread: if you are starting to get crazy about some utf8 import/export problems, a fast workaround is to convert templates to latin!
that's all, for now :)

if i'll get time, or we found the bug, i'll post in the linux istallation group!

thanks!
