So we should at least be able to add DeCSS and MP3 as part of the normal
install. NOT w32codecs. However a desktop link to the PLF and .DEB's
might be good? Anything else?  

I do not know about DivX, quicktime or some others. Are they distributed
with Ubuntu at the moment? Is there a list of what codecs are or not
currently included?

What else could we add that could reasonably be considered legal by
Canadian law?
