It will be really nice if 11.2 implements an easier way of installing
restricted multimedia codecs than that exists currently. The current way of
doing it via one-click installation is somewhat more complicated than ubuntu's
codec installer. In my opinion, the entire process could easily be done via a
script that runs a terminal showing a warning about the usage of restricted
codecs requiring user-interaction, then calls zypper to add the Packman repo
and installs/updates the required multimedia packages from that repo. Of
course there may exist several better ways than what I suggest, but it would
be worthwhile to explore methods of installing codec support that make it much
easier for a complete newcomer. In any case this is probably one of the first
things a home user does, so the ease with which it can be done does influence
his/her opinion about the distribution somewhat.
