Next level of Ubuntu multimedia

350 points posted to Linux by 6205 Mar 5

Now, when Dell included in Ubuntu 7.10 comercial DVD playback and Adobe Flash player, is time to move and enhance this initiative to next level...

When Ubuntu 8.04 LTS will be released, ship it with pre-installed high quality multimedia codecs from Fluendo. "Complete Set of Playback Plugins" will move entire Ubuntu experience to whole new level with legal, properly licenced and fully functional playback of those media formats.

Maybe should Dell also cooperate, support or work together with this company and bring to us even more improved (and legaly licenced) codec pack for it own customized Ubuntu version and advertise this added value on Dell Homepage.

This will be something what will motivate me to buy Ubuntu Dell PC much more than some aditional year of support contract.

Mar 5		 It's important the the Fluendo plugins be OPTIONAL, even if the option is enabled by default, i.e. a customer should be able to select "NO extra proprietary multimedia codecs [subtract $5].

It's important that customers have he OPTION to purchase Dell PCs with Ubuntu that maintains its 100% "free and open source" status.
