"Its official release is just under three months away, and Ubuntu 8.04, or Hardy Heron, promises some great improvements over the already user-friendly Ubuntu 7.10 (also known as Gusty Gibbon). This is a look at the fourth Alpha release of Hardy; including many of the applications that are now included by default and the major changes that will improve stability and usability. Among these are the addition of Firefox 3 and Remote Desktop on the applications side, and a new method for systems control known as Policy Kit, which enables the administrator to unlock certain functions for normal users."

Not the case with openSUSE 10.3: all you need to do is head over to:
http://opensuse-community.org/Multimedia
The 1-click-install there will install all the multimedia codecs for you and it will add the popular 3rd-party repositories for you that you would need.
