“This Boxee enhancement also marks the first time
Netflix instant downloads will be available to users of desktop PCs
running Linux.“Having used Boxee’s media center platform on my Ubuntu-based
Black Tower desktop PC for several months now, I’ve been eager to
see Boxee get supported on STBs like Roku’s Netflix player,
Syabas’s Popcorn Hour A110, and others. Now I’m convinced this will
happen soon.“Boxee has a terrific 10-foot user experience, ideally suited to
family-room viewing. A few screenshots showing Boxee running on the
Black Tower, which currently runs Ubuntu 8.10, appear below.”
