And to Automatix. "To watch a movie, the Linux user must install
necessary codecs, or decoders. One way to do that is to first download a
program called Automatix from www.getautomatix.com."

It's incredible how pervasive this meme is, and since Feisty the codec
things even works automatically for most things (except DVD, and there
is a 2-line command right there in the Ubuntu help in the System menu).

It just seems to never go away, and new users will keep to get burnt.
