We've had this a few times before. Novell can't afford to link the
codecs from their website because they're already being sued enough by
jerks like sco. Ubuntu is taking a big legal risk, but that's their
problem. You're not the one who'll be coughing up a few millions to
defend the lawsuit, I assume?

Can you give a few other examples where ubuntu is easier to use?
