It is $10 only for those people who pay $50 a year for Linspire's
"Clink 'N Run" Gold service. Otherwise it is $40.

Good luck getting it to run on a non-Debian distribution.

I wasn't talking about getting THAT dvd player on SuSE, I just mean the
idea that even though it is not included, and you might have to pay a
little, it is still available to the average user from the distributor.

Yeah, that would be nice.

Here's the Linspire version:

I don't see why someone hasn't decided on this as a niche business model for
the *nix community.
