I've tried to totally ignore Netfix to date, though I might change my mind. But I refuse to keep a Windows box running for any reason.
Is anyone streaming movies from Netflix and watching them on a Linux box?
I went to
netflix.com to look for the
requirements page. None. OK, how about a FAQ. Found one--no mention of requirements or Linux. Googled and
ddged, ...
WAIT. Found one:
Netflix Warning! (I sure am glad ddg lets me
sort by date.)
So I guess you
can stream Netflix to a Linux box.
I'm going to post this anyway in case someone has additional information to offer.

Some forums allow you to edit the thread title, but I don't see how here. I'd like to remove '[Solved]'.
That warning message I saw implied you can use Firefox on Linux, but
a thread on Netflix' blog has a lot of users that say you can't.
It's actually a delightful read. User after user after user has posted a plea for Linux support!
Apparently it depends on Microsoft's Silverlight, which isn't available for Linux.
Oh, well. I'm not going to run Windows just so I can watch movies.
