Sorry for top posting but... ?http://www.mono-project.com/Moonlight/SecurityStatus has the following information on Netflix ======= Silverlight 2 supports Microsoft /PlayReady/ Digital Rights Management (DRM). This is the DRM solution being used by Netflix's "Watch Instantly" service for streaming movies to PC (Windows-only) and Mac computers. Status: *unsupported* ========== And a quick google seems to indicate that the only way to watch netflix on Linux is wine or a VM. So you'd have to look at one of those as a solution.
