I agree Corey. I was also disappointed to see mention of codecs/flash/java. What is this obsession people have with codecs being pre-installed (a la xandros / linux mint / pclinuxos)? No other OS (windows and osx included) can play _all_ media out of the box, so why do people project that expectation on Linux (and specifically Ubuntu)? Windows cant play divx, macs cant play oggs _out of the box_. At least Ubuntu can install codecs for the vast majority of media after some auto-codec-magic, that neither of the other major OSs ( and most Linux distros ) flat out don't have. </rant> Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
