OctoPi 0.18.0rc2 Locale settings are GB #713

The new image locale settings are GB.

I've found out the hard way this can cause some trouble when generating passwords using special characters if you are doing this whith a screen and keyboard connected and then you'll spend ages finding a solution when trying to ssh into your PI.

Maybe it would be an idee to change this to US?

It was always GB because that is the default of Raspbian/Rpi OS. I see no reason to change it to US over GB, and I am not in GB.

I am closing, since this is not a RC issue. If you feel like there is a reason to make is US or any other layout then you are welcome to comment.

In my country we use US keyboards (I live in NL, don't ask me why we use US keyboards :) ) so when I changed the pi password using a keyboard and monitor I had quite a struggle getting to log in using SSH because the characters above the numers change quite a bit when switching between US and GB.

But if Raspbian ships using GB you're right then there is no real need to change this.
