Guys I honestly think that opensuse should have a base system , ie KDE [ but lightened up] repositories built into YAST [ BUT NOT ENABLED] Suse/novel did a great job integrating open office 2.0 and I think they should continue this. In the event that legal issues require no codec sect for multimedia programs in YAST before being allowed to enable the sources a legal signoff should appear releasing opensuse from all legal liability. There should be a team of coders that should take a bunch of the leading multimedia apps such as mplayer,acidrip,grip,streamtuner and others and build them into more attractive programs , I find when I try to get people to use linux that even though we have programs that do exactly the same thing as the windows counterparts everyone will say right off that they just look lame!
