I think this was an answer of sorts.... the announcement stated that openSUSE 10.3 comes with the Fluendo MP3 decoder. This is the legal MP3 decoder option for Linux. You can buy it from Fluendo... but the announcement says it's included in 10.3. This is a big deal - to moe anyway. It wasn't really hyped... at least not anywhere I've seen outside of the email announcement. C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
