Netflix ... a legitimate gripe. Hulu works on Mint, but Netflix does not. I suspect the problem lies with Netflix and the hooks the mainstream operating systems have driven into them. Do you know if Netflix works on *any* Linux distribution? It is a bit of a frustration.

Netflix uses Microsoft’s Silverlight for the Digital Rights Management (DRM). Android tablets and phones (running a Linux OS underneath) don’t have a problem. Perhaps licensing money has changed hands.
