With a licensed copy of CSS decrypter. I run Linspire on 4 machines and I have no problem playing DVD’s. Because the decrypter is separate from the player software is works fine with my DVDRipper and DVDShrink software. All commercial drivers are pre-packaged in the installation disc. I never have to go the CLI to install or modify anything. 3 of my machines have never to CLI and work just fine and that includes installing software.

You need the right codec to play DVDs and Linux OSes do not ship these as standard, normally, as the codec is the property of others.

Microsoft will buy just about every commercial distro it can in order to make some “tax” money from each person who uses a computer. Billy Gates may be a poor coder, but he is a business genius.
