[PLUG] Boxee on Ubuntu?

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

Anyone using Boxee.tv on Ubuntu (esp. 10.04)?  AFAICT it doesn't support 
Netflix streaming (the usual DRM issue), and I'm already using MythTV 
for recording off Comcast super-lame limited basic analog cable.

So does a Boxee install even do anything for me?  It sounds like it 
might make finding and watching stuff from online easier?

After a bit of tweaking (~/.boxee/UserData/guisettings.xml 
<vsync>0</vsync>) I got it running, but it wants to create a user 
account.  Am I going to regret doing that if I do?  Or should I use a 
Mailinator address for testing?

Clues?

Thanks,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
