Review: Hulu Desktop for Linux

[ Thanks to Jim

for this link. ]

“Hulu is one of the most popular video sites on the
web. You can watch all kinds of different television shows and
movies right in your browser. But there’s also another way to
watch Hulu and that’s to download the Hulu Desktop
application for Linux.

“Please note that Hulu Desktop for Linux is currently labeled
“beta” so don’t be surprised if you find some
burps here or there if you try to use it. Also, I did not test this
with a remote control as I ran the application in Linux Mint 8 in
VMWare and the Apple remote I had didn’t work. So I used my
trackball to navigate the application.

“The package download for Hulu Desktop for Linux weighed in at a
very petite 598KB.

“Requirements

“Here are the system requirements from the Hulu site:

“Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz
At least 2.0 GB RAM
Fedora 9, Ubuntu 8.04 or later
2 Mbps Internet connection
Flash 10.0.22

“And here are the software requirements:
GTK+ 2.12 or higher
GLib 2.16 or higher
LIRC 0.8.2 or higher (required for remote control
functionality)”
