The only exception to this with SUSE is that for legal reasons in
Germany & USA (the two centres of power for SUSE) they cannot legally
bundle fully working DVD movie software. However, you can install the
working versions from packman.

There is also good support via newsgroups for the major distributions
such as SUSE, Debian, Fedora, (K)Ubuntu ...
