During my initial startup of 'netflix-desktop' I was confronted with two errors, one said I was missing dependency 'mono'(aka: moonlight[counterpart to silverlight]), and the other error was also a dependency error, but the noodle returned an error which indicated a deprecated memory sector.(I can't remember )
However, despite these two errors 'netflix-desktop' loaded flawlessly. I chose the video(after inadvertently ignoring the prompts for the two errors), and it loaded and then played. After it finished the episode it smoothly transitioned to the screen where it allows you to choose the next episode. I watched another episode and then was forced to exit using the 'alt-f4' key combo. I was able to switch application using 'alt-TAB', and I was able to switch workspaces using 'CTRL-F1' thru 'CTRL-F4'. Due the availability of opengl and compositing, I was able to watch my episodes while also monitoring my other workspaces using the desktop wall plugin(default hotkey 'CTRL-F8')
All in all, it was easy. Below is my hardware setup, for reference.
2.5ghz(Dual core/Quad Thread); 8G ddr3; 750GHDD; Intel integrated(SandyBridge) Graphics.
Hope this helps.
