Has anyone found a way to stream Netflix to a Linux OS? I currently use Ubuntu 10.04. Thanks.

"I am not buying it."
Netflix is a commercial endeavor that must assuage it's vendors of content that the content will not "leak."
You may not care about the DRM and leakproof playback technical issues but that's what all the delay is about. It has nothing to do with whether it is possible to make it work but all about protecting the content.

a way let me know.
The only way that I have done it was with Mandriva Linux 2010 and used Virtual Box OSE. That way you can run Windows on a Virtual Drive and Netflix will run like a champ. To load MS in Virtual Box is really easy to do.
Other way than that, like running from the Browser, Netflix is too anal to let it run on Linux.
That Netflix runs on Linux.... Yes it does, Android OS has a Netflix Application right out of the Android market. I can view movies in a HTC Inspire on WiFi including Hulu.
BTW, Hulu runs beautifully on Linux with no tweaking at all.
