  FWIW, I'm watching the first episode right now, and it seems to
work.  This is on Fedora Core 6 with mplayer (which can use the DLLs
from the Windows world (assuming you're on i386)).  The typical
third-party repositories are in use.

kernel-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6
glibc-2.5-10.fc6
mplayer-1.0-58_r21812.fc6.at
mplayerplug-in-3.40-31.fc6.at
Firefox 2.0.0.2 (tgz binary distribution)

  Also FWIW, so far, it seems like a neat show.  :)
