A few months ago I was a Slackware Junkie. I loved it, and laughed at those who used 'more automatic' distributions (ok, I didn't actually laugh). Then Arch Linux 0.5 came out and I was very intrigued by it. I was getting tired of having to compile updated packages myself.

I just met a friend that active in multimedia sector which during our discussion he received a call requesting advice on reading CD in Linux. Actually the guy calling is one of the winner of our government education project.
My friend later explain told me about the project which our government request on using Linux as the operating platform. However during the the tender presentation all except of the multimedia CD (which more than 20 companies involved) cannot run on the Linux PC at the government office.
So if looking at the above scenario, there are still lack of support of multimedia format in Linux (I not saying it is not supported but too compliated to configure). Maybe those who expert will give (maybe bash me) many way to resolve this. However I'm writing this on to highlight that most of the CD are targeted at young student that know very little about computers but it is proven they can use the CD themself in Windows.
If any linux distribution that can resolve this, I think those youngsters will be among the supporter in the future.
