They do, just separated out - as Matt said, they can't export encryption
programs from the US. Anyone know if Suse or anyone else does an
integrated distribution?

Debian for example has a list of sites where you can get the parts of
the Debian distribution that have been separated out for crypto and/or
patent reasons ;
http://non-us.debian.org/misc/README.non-US

The joy of apt-get is that you can simply add the non-US package sources
to the rest in your sources.list and install either, transparently.
