Linux A few months ago we ran a poll about the most important non-free Linux apps. We had over 8,000 votes in that poll and we consider the results pretty interesting. Interesting enough to push Linux's market share if a distro capitalized on them?

I have installed Ubuntu myself a few times, and it really is SO annoying to have to go through lots of extra steps to even get MP3 playback..

Here's an idea: put a metapackage in multiverse that pulls in everything needed to get mp3/wmv/whatever playback. The needed packages are already provided (except for w32codecs and libdvdcss)
Let's call them ubuntu-restricted-multimedia and kubuntu-restricted-multimedia.

Simple, right? So simple I am surprised that MOTU's haven't already done it.
