I know that this is the opposite of 'free', but linspire offers a dvd player for $10 on their site. It is a rip-off, but at least it is available. -Steven
It is $10 only for those people who pay $50 a year for Linspire's "Clink 'N Run" Gold service. Otherwise it is $40.
Good luck getting it to run on a non-Debian distribution.
I wasn't talking about getting THAT dvd player on SuSE, I just mean the idea that even though it is not included, and you might have to pay a little, it is still available to the average user from the distributor.
Yeah, that would be nice. Here's the Linspire version: http://www.linspire.com/lindows_products_details.php?product_id=11804 I don't see why someone hasn't decided on this as a niche business model for the *nix community. /me runs off with an idea... -- kai - www.perfectreign.com
