    Netflix does not work on Linux, because of the DRM (Digital Rights Management). I've heard of folks using Wine to run it, but I have never tried myself. It works on Android because the carriers impose DRM in their versions of Android.

    If anyone has got Netflix running on a Linux install, I'd be happy to learn about it. Right now I have it running on my Logitech Review (Google TV box) on my TV. It also runs on my Wii. I'm also about to cancel Netflix because the streaming version has little variety, and, many of the choices don't function correctly. I'd rather go back to the mail version, at least I can play the DVD's on my Fedora install and the variety is still pretty good.
