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?

//Besides, how I am I supposed to "guess" the right package name? There's room for improvement here, I think.//

(1) Put a DVD in the DVD drive. The default player will start up and it wiil tell you the name of any uninstalled package(s) you wiil need to install to play it.

or ...

(2) Start your package manager. Hit the search button. Type in "dvd". Read the descriptions of what is then listed.

It really isn't that hard.

BTW ... dvd decoders and mp3 codecs aren't part of Windows standard install, either.
