My little dab of anecdotal evidence: I bought a Czech movie direct from Prague on DVD, which arrived and played fine on my linux box. Never released here. The english title was "Sekal has to die". I saw it twice at the PIFF in the pre-parenthood-golden-age-of-cinema, then waited another ~10-ish years to see it again on the DVD. -- Russell Senior ``I have nine fingers; you have ten.'' seni...@aracnet.com _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
