I think they aren't going to get Netflix streaming working for Linux anytime soon. Here's one discussion: http://developer.netflix.com/forum/read/94750 I saw a couple of others and they made the situation sound even worse than that one. I have never used Netflix's streaming feature (even though it was available for free with Netflix for awhile) because I didn't have a lot of incentive and my main HDTV is hooked up to a Linux box. But now I'm thinking I might drop DirecTV and do more TV via the web. Netflix streaming might be $8 now, which is a lot cheaper than DirecTV, if I can make it work well enough. I can stream Netflix using another external device like Wii, PS3 or Xbox360... http://www.netflix.com/HowItWorks ...but I don't own any of those. There also are a few Roku products to choose from: http://www.roku.com/roku-products Now that my daughter is 4 years old, it might be a good time to get a video game machine of some kind. Anyway, if you have found a way to make Linux do Netflix streaming, I hope you will share it. If you don't have that but you know something about how well the other products work with Netflix, then I hope you'll share that. Thanks. Mike
