Having a laptop that can do DVDs now, I started searching for updates on 
LinDVD, which was originally demoed over a year ago.  Here's the support 
take on it (names removed to protect the innocent).  What I find 
interesting is the mention of Dell and Gateway... Dell said they weren't 
offering Linux support on the desktop/laptop market anymore, and I 
haven't heard a peep from Gateway on the issue, one way or the other.

Michael,

I just know few of the OEMs.  You can try Dell or Gateway.  We will 
release LinDVD however we don't know when because we are still testing 
this software.

I was more thinking in the 'commercially available' arena.  I already
have a computer, I'd just like to buy a Linux DVD player for it.

Do you have a list of OEMs that it's been released to?  Is it ever going
to be released commercially?  An OEM copy of it isn't of particular use
to me when I already own a DVD drive.
