Hulu works with Linux last time I tried but I typically use a Windows |
38 |
VM to watch it.. |

NetFlix works with Linux but only in a Windows VM. |

Amazon streams now but I haven't tried them yet. (Watch out for 'One |
43 |
Touch' and accidentally spending money...) |

Most of the TV networks have web site streaming of their programs |

digitize the Library of Congress. Whether that's true or not, we're |

close to the point where every person can have a personal copy of the |
51 |
Library of Congress. |
