I admit that I'm a geek. I use Linux. I use Solaris. I use FreeBSD. At times, I use Windows. And without a doubt, I download and try almost every Linux distribution when they come out. Over the last few years, I've tried all of the RedHat/Fedora releases, 2 different Lindows/Linspire releases, Mandrake, Gentoo, Xandros, Suse, Ubuntu, and the list goes on.

He doesn't like the currently available range of packages for some distros. Eh. For MDK all the quoted examples are available in either main, contrib, or plf; the first two are official repositories with Mandrakesoft-published GPG keys. PLF is semi-official and most of the people who package for it are the same as main and contrib. You could never have a 'legitimate' source with a freely downloadable dvdcss package, anyway, it's just not legally going to happen. I guess if you make it paid, but then, who's gonna pay $5 a month just for a 'legal' dvdcss lib?
