Xine packages especially made for SuSE are available.
inclusion in Linuks? I'm sure a lot of users would appreciate a gnutella client and DVD player
The main problem re: DVDs is that by law in the United States and several other countries it is illegal to have unauthorized software that decodes DVDs. This perhaps explains SuSE not updating it since later versions can do this; though they *could*, if they want to be less cautious, include everything but the DVD decoding plugins... (But then it would be pretty worthless still, as nearly all DVD movies are encrypted...) I doubt they will do this now though; they are in a lot of stupid legal hot water as is. (They are in trouble because the name of the program "krayon" is like "crayon", and were forced by court order to not distribute SuSE in their home country of Germany until the case is resolved; which will cost SuSE a lot of money. :-( )
