Perhaps, just perhaps you're all thinking about this all wrong.  Instead 
of worrying about RedHat providing links to Java, and RealPlayer, etc. 
Perhaps instead we should be more worried about getting the vendors of 
said products to put prominent download links to their players on their 
website.  Nothing is more frustrating than trying to find some burried 
link to the linux version of their codec.

Note: I'm not fond of Macromedia's "installer" for their Flash plugin. 
I have this sinking feeling that I'll need to re-install it the next 
time I upgrade mozilla using the new RPM that'll come down the line.
