So long as you look at the USE flags with a fine tooth comb you will |

find a lot of joy in the gentoo multimedia experience. It is (fortunately |
| 9 |
IMHO) not bogged down by the desire to keep clear of win32codecs, |
| 10 |
libdvdcss and the like. |

My gentoo system can play more media files than my win2k system, and |
| 13 |
without the annoyances of realplayer or quicktime popping up to tell me |
| 14 |
that I can now watch the latest piece of crap that they think i want to |
| 15 |
see. |

Anyway, my point was that, unlike some other distros where you have to |
| 18 |
hunt around for third party implementations in order to watch the dvd |
| 19 |
you own, or listen to an mp3, gentoo gives you the choice of including |
| 20 |
it right from inside portage. |
