Obviously it's in the repositories, the issue is what the distro 
puts on the CD! Of course there are limits to what you can stuff 
into the space, so the distributors have a difficult job deciding 
what to pack in and what to leave out. It really depends what kind 
of users they anticipate.

Wine is also left out of Mint I see.

And slrn!
