I have the personnal edition, and I have installed xine from that, so it is included. I don't get it to work playing DVD's yet, but that is a different story.
I don't think any distribution includes the DeCSS code necessary to play encrypted DVDs (ie. most commercial DVDs). There are still too many legal unknowns about it.
It is available on the net, though. There are links on the xine home page to rpms built for SuSE.

Mandrake 8.2 will play encrypted dvds witn xine out of the box so it must have dcss. They must be taking a chance, so don't tell the authorities. That having been said it wasn't for me worth switching from SuSE to Mandrake just for that. Its not hard to find up to date versions of xine and ogle for that matter which will work fine. Mike
