"While the eyes of the IT world have spent years squinting to see Microsoft's slowly unfolding vistas, the companies and individuals that drive open source have been steadily building a case for broader adoption of Linux-based operating systems. Two of the best all-around Linux distributions to emerge from this process are OpenSUSE 10.2 and Ubuntu 6.10, both of which bundle together the best of what open source has to offer into operating systems that merit consideration for desktop and server workloads."

Do you really think inability to play mp3 will force Linux newbies to ditch their fresh install? I don't think they would!
BTW "Newbies start walking thru' a jungle of soft on net, in yum, or synaptic to see what is mp3 encoding and where is it!" is oversimplified statement.
I would say all modern distros have mp3 codec either installed by default or somewhere within their respective repositories so that's not an issue.
ANd if you're really for software/code openness there is and ogg media format as an mp3 counterpart.
