Tested certainly, but compiled? I have no clue which distro realplayer was compiled on, or Acrobat Reader. As long as it works as advertised, it's not that important where it was compiled, although it would of course be nice if
Adobe and Real used SUSE :)
:D Maybe I am just a purist and like to compile things on the distro I run it on .... I would think that currently we are forcing the user to use illegal sources for such software. SUSE Linux 10.0 retail would be so much more usable if we would not need to do that and could just play DVD's and mp3's and other formats out of the box. We seem to not have a problem doing that with other commercial software, why not with that one. Really! Thanks for all the nice offlist and onlist support emails to this issue....! It is good to see that I have the support from a part of the community at least .... I have sent an email off to my first point of contact at SUSE. Let's see if I can get something moving.
