Are Linux boxes region free?  I have the impression that Windows boxes are 
not region free.  This web page tells me that I can make my DVD drive 
region free for $40:

Seems a tad expensive.  Is there a better way?

What about DVD players?  Am I pretty much stuck if my player won't handle 
other regions?

Does anyone know the reason for "regions"?  It seems like a silly idea, 
but it must be helping *someone* to make money!
