I am inclined to side with Paul. Having never heard of Hulu before this
thread, I checked it out. I also am running Opensuse 11.1 and it works
flawlessly. It is probably hardware. I am running an Alienware Aurora with
quad Phenom and 4 gig of memory using FIOS broadband. I have high end
hardware running the same OS as Chuck and mine works. I also religiously apply
updates to everything.
Hope this helps.
