SuSE, openSUSE When you're done installing OpenSUSE 10.0, your desktop system is not complete. You still need support for Java programs, MP3 audio files, and browser plugins for Macromedia Flash, Adobe Acrobat, RealPlayer, and Windows Media Video. You may also want to add support for playing DVD videos on your computer. Here's how to effectively make the open source version of OpenSUSE 10.0 into SUSE Linux 10.0.

RE[2]: "Hacking OpenSUSE"

One thing that openSUSE and SUSE 10 does not come with, is support for file formats that are considered as possible DMCA violations. For that you have to get Packman's RPMs, install them and then use your system. We only care about Flash, Real, etc. when it comes to web content.

With all the other things Linux has going for it, this is one area that needs to be addressed before John Q. Public can ever be happy using it. If he can't do the things that he takes for granted in (gasp) Windows, then he will never be a happy camper.
