And I'm even considering closing my account. It's bad enough that there is no current Linux support...I've seen most of the decent movies that are stream-able...the rest are Hulu-type junk.

Edit: I see where Roku just announced that the entire criterion movie collection will be streamable on hulu plus. I gather that means I can watch it on my linux desktop machines as well, since hulu is hulu.

I have neglected signing up for an account for just this reason. Plus, well I don't keep any Windows in my house ;)

I run XP on VB in the bedroom just to watch Hulu and Netflix before going to sleep...and fastpasstv.com if the servers are running decent that night.

Never would anyone suggest that anyone around here is stuffy.

However, I find it bizarre that there is still no official Linux client, especially since I believe there is a Linux-based media box that does deliver it (name alludes me at the moment....)

Ah, yes Roku
