Aren't there only like eight regions or so? We once got a present of 
some DVDs from the US and we live in the EU, so we pretty much only 
have region 2 DVDs. I'm the only one able to view those things 
without having to be afraid that I won't be able to view any of the 
others anymore... :-)
My dad actually bought a USB DVD drive for US DVDs...

Anyway, back on topic: my aunt has a rather ancient desktop which is 
too old to properly run XP or any other "modern" MS OS. Installed 
Kubuntu on it and she is now not only able to watch DVDs, she can 
actually enable some of those nifty KDE compositing effects...
